I agree with your observations. The comments about divine intervention are not too far fetched IMO.
It did take a miracle.
If you look at the powers that lined up against him, it couldn’t have been anything else but God’s will.
We even had folks bashing him here, and this was essentially his last bastion of support.
I say that with some part of my tongue in cheek, because the populace didn’t all exist on this forum. Many folks were moved to support Trump, and there’s no question in my mind that God was at work here.
Who knows how many folks were moved by FReepers who talked to family and friends, who bought off on their beliefs.
When I go to the Leftist sites these days, it’s as if only FReepers were posting responses.
The Right has become a very popular belief system almost overnight.
It’s all because of one man folks. If you can’t grasp that, you really shouldn’t mess with sharp objects, like Free Republic.
That is a VERY good point!! Traditional GOPers are off-putting at best. Think Mitch McConnell. The Permanent Political Class thinks Paul Ryan is attractive, but how many people would stand for hours in long lines to crowd an arena to hear him speak???
Let’s don’t even mention Romney or McCain. When the base finds them unbearable, who else are they supposed to energize?
Trump has given people who find the Uniparty creepy and revolting an opportunity to be strongly and vitally engaged. His apoeal lies in no small part in the fact that he’s profoundly not a politician. He changed the landscape as it’s never been changed, politically, before.
Imagine this: Democrats are vainly plotting ways to rid themselves of Pelosi. Would you have predicted, 6 mos ago, that an anti-Pelosi revolt would roil the Dems? Add to that spectacle Trump begging, via tweets, that they keep Pelosi in placr. (Almost)Too much winning.
Meanwhile, the party of Trump is simply celebrating a whole new ballgame. It’s great!
The wife an I were onto Trump from the very first debate.
