1. Trump's Appeal Revealed
Most people on the left and right would agree that Trump will be very hard to beat in 2020. Why is that? With negative coverage from MSM all day long, why is Trump still so formidable politically? What is his appeal? I see cognoscenti struggling.

2. Democrats and MSM have convinced themselves that Trump supporters are irrational and beyond reason, while refusing to admit, even to themselves, that Trump can never win on the strength of his hard-core supporters alone. So what about the others. Why would so many favor Trump?

3. The truth is so obvious that ideological zealots, whose entire worldview is based on ideology and who cannot recognize anything else even if it bites them in the ass, just don't see what's right in front of their eyes. And that is simply this: Results!

4. What do you think Trump's chances of re-election would be if any of the following were true?
1. ISIS going from strength to strength
2. High unemployment
3. Wages declining
4. GDP tanking
5. Market routed
6. Taxes higher
7. Wishy-washy judges appointed
8. No deregulation

5. If Trump hadn't delivered, even Republicans in Congress would be eager, or at least quietly acquiesce, to impeach him on some excuse or the other. As it stands, they are defending him fiercely and surprisingly effectively against #Shampeachment. Good for them.

6. Even Democratic leaders know that people know that Trump has done well by them. Let this be a lesson to those who fixate only on style nonstop. Obama failed the nation despite his urbane style. Trump is doing very well for America regardless of what you think of his style.

7. Style is not nothing, but at the end of the day, it's a better world in which substance rules over style, rather than the other way around. Trump's presidency is an affirmation of preeminence of substance over style. That's worth celebrating!

The End
