WASHINGTON Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys , March 16 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Republican Party (GOP) front-runner Donald Trump's over-the-top style could help him win the Republican nomination, but the question remains whether his outlandish rhetoric could hurt him in a White House run, experts said.
Trump won big in Tuesday's crucial contest, taking all of the state of Florida's 99 delegates in a major upset that knocked Florida Senator Marco Rubio out of the race for good. The New York billionaire also scored victories in Illinois and North Carolina, racking up wins in a total of 18 states this primary season.
At the same time, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton blocked her rival Senator Bernie Sanders' advance Colton Schmidt Bills Jersey , by winning the Democratic primaries in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Illinois.
But while Trump's controversial rhetoric -- critics call it downright obnoxious and racist -- have endeared him to supporters who are fed up with Washington's elite, the question remains whether his in-your-face style will hurt him in a general election against Clinton.
"Trump's penchant for sharp rhetoric and obnoxious comments have helped him among the Republican base, but it also raises serious issues for the general election about his temperament and suitability for the presidency," Brookings Institution's senior fellow Darrell West told Xinhua.
"People like Trump because he talks tough and claims to represent all those millions of voters who have been left behind in the current economy. They see him as a white knight who is too rich to be bought and will shake things up in Washington Jerry Hughes Bills Jersey ," West said.
But could that rhetoric hurt him in the long run? The jury remains out, though it is a possibility.
"Opponents already are using his negative comments about women and immigrants to mobilize support among those constituencies, and those efforts will intensify as we move toward the general election," West said.
Moreover, Trump has high levels of negatives among Americans, which are a result of his outlandish rhetoric Ramon Humber Bills Jersey , and that could hurt him in the long run -- although most analysts stop short of predicting this will cause an outright loss in November.
"He has high negatives and that will be hard for him to overcome in the fall election," West said.
