Just remember how much opposition President Trump had to endure in order for him to keep this most important promise.

Trump is a unique man. He rose in New York City so he's used to playing hardball. But more than that, he cultivated a very polarizing image to generate buzz. Love him or hate him (lots of both!) people were talking about him and he thrived on it.

The result is that he's immune from being excoriated by the press. He just doesn't care, or maybe he actually enjoys it. But efforts to make him wilt and crawl away by calling him Hitler just roll of his back. What other politician could stand up to what Trump has? They impeached him for literally nothing, for crying out loud. And he laughed at them.

We'll probably never see such a President again in our lifetimes.

Like most type A personalities we didn’t inherit the need to be liked and are completely comfortable defining ourselves despite anyone else’s opinion.

Traditional politics is about getting credit for things you didn’t do, and avoiding blame for the things you did do.

Trump is not a traditional politician.
Biden is a traditional politician.

This year, voters will have a chance to show that they’ve learned something.
