The Alinsky Man (Trump empowering the powerless)

To appear a “showman” while effectively dealing with opponents hints more of Sun Tzu than Barnum and Bailey. In the age of reality TV and twitter - both of which Trump excels at - this is the face of the new politics. Like it or not - get used to it. Before TV campaigns were different and before that radio made campaigns different. In an age of cell phones small bites are all that people can digest. Trump knows that speaking about detailed plans is bullshit. Who reads those? They mean nothing. You vote on past experience of the candidate not his platform like it's the 19th century.
