“Every candidate runs on at most three signature issues. If you didn’t know that basic axiom of American politics you don’t know enough to HAVE an opinion”
Stop trying to make people believe you know what you are talking about..you don’t have a clue how President Trump ran his campaign. You think it was 3 top issues. You’re very wrong. President Trump ran the most unconventional campaign in history...for you’re information (and so you don’t embarrass yourself again) he flipped the script by running on one and ONLY ONE issue...Make America Great Again..and every sub issue fed into that theme. That was the key..every issue helped support the ONE theme..MAGA.
You should read a few political books on the 2016 campaign. You’ll be surprised by how much you don’t know.
Seriously dude, do you teach courses on how to write in the voice of a churlish tween? What's next out of your bag of rhetorical jems, "I know you are, but what am I?"
It is typical of childish reasoning to assume that running an "unconventional campaign" means throwing out the "rule book." But much to the contrary, as my wife pointed out to me many years ago, "you have to know the rules before you can competently break them."
It takes mastery of a skill to successfully improvise, and such improvisation always comes out of known works, not pulling ideas out of your ass to see if they fly. Trump is a master of such arcane insights, despite what an unending train of pundits deconstruct for naive book buyers.
Which reminds me, what kind of frustrated child challenges "read a book..." without citation, summation, or even a frickin' TITLE?
In closing, I don't have to "pull rank" on you. The quality of your thought and writing is all the indicator of rank I need.
