When lefties and commentators have what they think is a bright idea, its main value to them is how much applause and chatter it will get them.
As with Reagan, one of Trump’s great assets is that lefties think all who disagree with them are ipso facto stupid. Reagan was an intellectual, and deeply principled. But I think Trump is more brilliant and adaptable. He devours data, and sees connections. His IQ is about 156, maybe higher.
He is a genius with street smarts who doesn't drink, smoke or need much sleep. I'm okay with that.
