in 2016, donald trump was a national, if not worldwide, phenomenon that swept all before it. only some pretentious facebook weenie would think he created it.
I hear so much about Trump not being "presidential". But here's my take on that charge.
Trump was legally elected to the office of president. So whatever he does is de facto presidential.
The MSM, the democRATS and even the GOP establishment, constantly harp on this idea that he's not presidential and for some in DC, he needs to be removed from office for this reason alone.
This is just code for "he's not like all the presidents before him who played the DC Swamp uni-party game and who got us into the mess we're in today". They don't like Trump because he's different.
I predict Trump is setting the pace for future presidents who will study his campaign and election and governing style and will try to emulate him. Because they can see a winner when they see Trump.
He's what sports analysts call a game changer.
Ha,,,good luck with that
How they going to integrate their focus groups...Delphi analysis....consultants....K-street guys and big money donors,,,?
As well as being able to run a rally without Teleprompters.
Hillary turned them down. I wonder why.
Didn’t she spend like a billion dollars on her campaign?

It was obvious that hildabeast dumped the bulk of her campaign war chest on establishment consultants, polsters, & media outlets that were willing to parrot the daily DNC talking point memos.
That’s why we saw the MSM all co-ordinating their love fest & impressive poll results for hildabeast.
That’s the way it’s always been done in the swamp..
I have little doubt Democratic voter fraud happens in every election. Romney lost by 5m votes and McCain lost by 10m votes, compared to Trump's 3m. I'd suspect voter fraud was probably about the same as it's been in every other election. When comparing 2012 vs 1996, two problems stand out.
One is that Asians (1% of the vote in 1996 and 3% in 2012) are voting increasingly Democratic, from 48(R)-44(D) in 1996 to 73(R)-26(D) in 2012. That means the GOP suffered a net loss of roughly 1.5m Asian votes from 1996 to 2012.
Another is that Hispanics, while increasingly Republican, still favor Democrats and are expanding rapidly as a share of voters, going from 5% of the vote in 1996 to 11% in 2016, while going from 73(D)-21(R) to 65(D)-29(R). Thanks to an increase in population %, the ideological drift is more than offset. In other words, in 2016, the GOP had a additional gap of 4m Hispanic votes to make up vs 1996 just because of immigration.
The white vote is increasingly Republican, but not to the point that it can make up the losses from immigration. This is why the logical thing for the GOP to do is to radically slow down both legal and illegal immigration. If they fail to do so, we could have many decades of Democratic dominance ahead. Amnesty of any kind would be poison for GOP prospects, given the guarantee of chain migration that follows citizenship.
Equifax used macro-targeting by leaving the barn door open.
This is the first time in U.S. history that a media outlet worked closely with a major advertising customer. Clearly, working with advertising customers should be illegal.

Bringing this idiosyncratic data-crun cher on board the DJT team was perhaps the only thing for which Jared deserves major kudos. It wasn’t just Facebook, but the nationwide strategy. They were urging Trump to go to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania when the Dims were laughing at the idea. I say “they” because Parscale used that term to include the whole targeting group which could see — uniquely — what “was in play.”
He’s humble, yet brilliant, and should be put on a seven year retainer. As for Jared, “adios, amigo.”
Update: He’s already working on Trump’s re-election campaign.
Agreed.
