Scott Adams writes in a blog post called ‘Clown Genius’ that Trump appears to be unstoppable:
Like many of you, I have been entertained by the unstoppable clown car that is Donald Trump. On the surface, and several layers deep as well, Trump appears to be a narcissistic blow-hard with inadequate credentials to lead a country.
The only problem with my analysis is that there is an eerie consistency to his success so far. Is there a method to it? Is there some sort of system at work under the hood?
Probably yes. Allow me to describe some of the hypnosis and persuasion methods Mr. Trump has employed on you. (Most of you know I am a trained hypnotist and this topic is a hobby of mine.)
For starters, Trump literally wrote the book on negotiating, called The Art of the Deal. So we know he is familiar with the finer points of persuasion. For our purposes today, persuasion, hypnosis, and negotiating all share a common set of tools, so I will conflate them.
Would Trump use his negotiation and persuasion skills in the campaign? Of course he would. And we expect him to do just that.
But where is the smoking gun of his persuasion? Where is his technique laid out for us to see.
Everywhere.
As I said in my How to Fail book, if you are not familiar with the dozens of methods of persuasion that are science-tested, there’s a good chance someone is using those techniques against you.
If you’re keeping score, in the past month Trump has bitch-slapped the entire Republican Party, redefined our expectations of politics, focused the national discussion on immigration, proposed the only new idea for handling ISIS, and taken functional control of FOX News. And I don’t think he put much

Its unlikely that Juan would have been a good POTUS.
Hee hee. Also liked this....
Trump wants to “Make America Great.” All three of those words are winning words. That choice of words is no clown accident. Trump is making people associate his brand with America, greatness, and even “making” stuff, which is generally good. Every time you hear his slogan, or read it, the association is strengthened.
I think this is what is motivating Trump. He wants to add "Great President who saved America" to his list of accomplishments. This is the biggest and most important deal of his life. He is going for the Gold Medal.
No “Gravitas.”
Leadership doesn't require credentials...You are a leader or you aren't...Look at Congress for an example...And what is leadership anyway???
Trump 'leads' a multi-billion dollar company...If you are a leader in one venue, you are a leader wherever you go...And if you're not, you're not...Why would any one think there is someone running who has more savvy when it comes to leadership than Trump???
Trump is putting on a show...That's his life...Trump injects his own brand of comedy into each public event...Trump's brand is to be sarcastic and egotistical...And egotistical he is...YET, I've seen Trump display a humble side while not entertaining the crowds...
While the sarcasm is real, Trump turns it into funny...He plays it well...Very well...But in between the entertainment(?) Trump brings out a very serious message...A message for America...If all one focuses on is Trump's ego and perceived personality, he/she is not interested in the real message Trump is sending...
“I also saw some Internet chatter about the idea of picking Mark Cuban as Vice Presidential running mate. “
Forget Congressional confirmation...if you want a job in the Trump Administration, you’re gonna have to make your pitch in front of The Shark Tank.
Reagan was good but let's not go crazy with it...Reagan' 'trickle down economics' is what put the U.S. on the decline where the middle class is in such poor shape as it is...
Honey badger don’t give a #@!%
The tax cuts worked…this trickle down is democratic BS….the decline in manufacturing jobs began with big Unions Auto Workers…the EPA..and High oil prices….plus China said come here do anything you want..
Trump should have a 10 or 15 percent corporate tax…and no tax if you reinvest the money in the US..
I think it’s because they both wear power toupées!
See how easy it is? This is one of the things that has P*ssed me off at the mainstream GOP for a very long time. What does it cost us to continue undermining Obama's credibility by being non-committal on his citizenship?
How does it hurt us to keep an ongoing cloud of suspicion regarding his legitimacy?
Why did we have so many people on our side who felt the need to proclaim him "legit" instead of heaping more uncertainty onto him regarding his citizenship status?
Why does our side help the enemy by running interference for him? Thanks Eric Erickson, I'm talking about people like you.
Is that a joke? I have been here quite a while, and much what he said several years ago, would have gotten him banned here at FR.. Trump can not be trusted.
Cruz 2016 and only Cruz 2016.

Agreed. With Obama becoming President, all qualifications were suspended. Never before could someone who is less qualified for the job ever have attained it.
Ronald Reagan said:
“There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
This comes from "George Orwell", but I distinctly recall hearing Reagan say it.
