Last Paragraph sez it all for me
No one in the media, none of the established "pundits", nor any professional pollster gave Trump much chance of winning even up to the night the returns came in. They are proven by that to be ordinary people, while Trump who foresaw the effect of his message is the genius. We need to remember this whenever we hear the media and all the experts criticize Trump, as they will be doing for at least the next four years.
Excellent point.
GHWB was a neocon globalist masquerading as a conservative, so of course he played along with the Left and its rules - and so paid the price.
