"Trump’s magic is toughness — toughness in a world of losers. The power and will of the caudillo will make everything right."

America already has its caudillo. The Hope and Change Fantasy crowd elected him 8 years ago.

I've followed Kraut for years and finally came to the conclusion that he (along with dozens of other political mavens) are more interested about their own cloistered and feathered beds. He's spent virtually the last 7 years speaking about this man we call President as legitimately intentioned but with whom we just have little disagreements.

If anything, his bombast was reserved for Tea Party ruffians (in his mind), conservatives and hardliners. Rightfully so, he and the rest of his privileged cabal of 'thinkers' feel threatened - because people out here in the America they know nothing about are wise to them. Their stock and trade is diminishing, and their words and blather are now just so much folderall.

Perhaps Krauthammer can explain how the “sweet spot” differs from the “magic”.

I think a fair amount of Trump's mojo comes from the fact that he's a big giant question mark. Nobody knows what he might do or might not do. Some people fear the unknown and the chaos it might produce. Other people embrace it.

I am of the latter group but if I were an Iranian Mullah, for example, I would probably be uncomfortable with an unknown quantity like Trump as opposed to a completely known quantity like Obama.

His unapologetic American nationalism has to make the world pretty uneasy too which is a bonus IMO.

We’ve tried it the way that the political scientist and technicians have recommended. We ended up with a 19 TRILLION dollar debt.

Maybe it is time to believe in some Trump magic.

Sanders is not offering magic, he is offering communism

These same pundits were gloating that Trump had lost his ‘magic’ after his Iowa loss with Rubio rising. Magic is Hellary escaping all these scandals that entangled others associated with the Clintons. Houdini got nothing on them.

Good. I was getting so tired of the other flavor.

Someone should inform Chaz that the “pragmatism” repeatedly implemented by the uniparty doesn’t work in the real world.

It isn’t called ‘magic’ it is called ‘vision’
