Evidence....not anecdote
You can scoff anything down to “anecdote” if you are so inclined, but the wise will seek out the truth and not need it crammed down their throat like you appear to be demanding.
That’s not my job.
However, for the sake of the REST of the world, that might be looking at your scoffing and considering it to be a persuasive argument...
Just the appetite for a figure like Donald isn’t enough to explain his advent. Usually this has delivered up mushy GOP figures at best, for a long time, at least since Teddy Roosevelt.
Note how the appetite is now growing past historical experience with such honeymoons. This is the sign of foreknowledge guiding events.
Again this is not for the sake of YOU, who will continue to scoff as far as I know. This is for the sake of others.
