People say Trump is a good listener and knows who to listen to.

I wonder who the general is who has his ear.

Well, here is another thought. Trump knows in terms of details on a lot of fronts he has a long way to go. That's another reason he rolls out policy papers slowly, having developed a thoughtful, clear---but not overly detailed---position. That meant in the first two debates he had to get by on intuition and bluster.

When you think about that, it is amazingly gutsy. It meant he knew that for up to six months he would take a beating. You won't see him burst suddenly into George Marshall or John Quincy Adams. Rather, like JFK he will learn some on the job, no question. Lincoln had minimal military experience when forced to lead the largest war in American history. Trump has given every evidence of learning fast, and above all having the right instincts. That's far preferable to someone with all the wrong instincts and plenty of "Ed-e-ca-shun."
