Which is kind of like saying "even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

I don’t think the two statements are the same. The stopped clock deserves no credit for coincidentally being right twice a day. Sowell is giving Trump credit, perhaps a bit backhandedly, but that’s just to save face.
After all, Sowell is publicly admitting he was wrong about Trump. He’s expressing surprise as if to say “who knew?”
Well, a lot of us knew, but it takes courage and intellectual honesty to admit you were wrong - we can allow a little face saving I think.
Sowell is a little late to the party, but I’m relieved that he’s saying what he’s saying. Thomas Sowell is not someone you want on the opposing team.
I am very proud to say I was a very early boarder on the Trump train (the first debate when he masterfully answered Megan Kelly’s shameless gotcha attempt with the timeless words: “only Rosie O’Donnel”).
Yet, I must admit that if you told me two years ago that Donald Trump would be the man who would make America great again, I’d have thought you were crazy. The point is every intelligent person climbs aboard the Trump Train, but it is always stopping to pick up more passengers.
All aboard the Trump train! Better late than never!
