The Importance of Momentum in Politics (or What I Learned from President Trump)
a thread

One of the more amusing aspects of twitter is that a person gains a modest following and suddenly he/she is qualified to tell Trump what he needs to do to win.
But Trump just received over 73 million votes (and counting) for President of the United States.

Maybe we should be asking what political lessons can we learn from him.
Personally, what Trump has taught me about electoral politics, more than anything, is the necessity of momentum.
One of the theories I considered to explain why PapaD was sooo eager to setup a meeting between Trump and Putin was that PapaD was planted by the intel agency that was responsible for the emails releases. His job was to help frame the Russians.
One reason I liked the theory is it doesn't require PapaD to be in on it. He was simply told to setup a meeting between Trump and Putin. He didn't have to know about the theft of emails.
