And he is far more adept at modern-day politics than anybody in either party realizes. What he’s doing is bordering on political brilliance. In parlaying this outsider status of his, he’s better at playing the insiders’ game than they are, and they are insiders. He’s running rings around all of these seasoned, lifelong, highly acclaimed professionals in both the consultant class, the advisor class, the strategist class, and the candidate class. And he’s doing it simply by being himself.
But it was a coup. A coup of major proportions.
I totally agree. It is a coup.
Just when you think Trump is cruising, he just does something to throw everyone off balance.
That has been how many who know him have described him. You simply do not know what Trump will do next. How many times has Trump said in interviews that he won’t say what he would do in certain circumstances to keep the opposition guessing.
More important is that Trump seems to calculate his moves like a chess players 20 moves down the line when all the players can only see the next move.
And then Trump gets exactly the outcome he had planned. There is a confidence in Trump and a smile on his face of someone who constantly sees the reality he plans. Maybe that is why his team is so disciplined. They know the boss well and they know he gets what he wants and they will win too.
Compare this to the circus the Republicans have going on during this Benghazi thing. They look like idiots compared to Trump.
It is indeed a crushing coup. This thing he did to Yeb is amazing as it looks like a corporate poison pill designed to destroy the opposition into oblivion. The more Bush attempts to fight Trump the more he sinks into very serious political death.
