Well, if you grew up on the UWS in the 1950s, you’d know all about this. The UWS was a mixture of middle class Jews, who lived on West SIde Avenue, the Drive or CPW, and in between on the side streets,Irish, Italians and Hispanics. There was a large scattering of elderly or dysfunctional SRO (single room occupancy) residents starting in the 1960s. Except for certain areas, it only became “hot” in the late 1990s. Parts of it are still not “hot.”
Trump was gruesome tabloid fodder for years because of his spectacular divorces. He did a great thing with the Wollman Rink and various other initiatives after that, but he never seemed to move on politically and dropped out of the mayoral race, His real niche came with his reality TV shows and that was the type of business he was good at doing.
I’m not criticizing or saying this is bad, simply that it wasn’t the normal way of doing politics but perhaps that’s why he won, But he’s done a good job of picking people with experience and good conservative ideas and I think it’s all going to be fine.

No, but it damn sure sounds like you're trying to defend the value of bad analysis in the face of good.
