To my thinking, this author gives Trump too little credit for his insight. The democrats missed what was happening to the middle class working folk, to be sure.

I am a "birther". (One who was interested in exploring Obama's eligibility for the office of President.)

I realized when Trump started making noises indicating he was interested in the "birther" question, that this was a feeler into the conservative base. It didn't cost him anything to show a little support to this marginalized group, but they would likely remember it.

That's when I realized he was probably going to run for President.

The man is shrewd. He is a lot more clever than his enemies presumed.
