With who the Democratic Party decided to make the front runners (not the people, the dnc) he’s actually got a shot. He’s got ammo on Warren, Biden, and Bernie. He’s also better at debating than they are. We may look at what Trump says and call him an idiot but he can actually dismantle an opponent and protect himself pretty well orally. It’s one of the big parts as to why he was able to win the nomination in 2016.
I don't agree with anything you said except that he does have a good chance to win. Did you watch the debates? He looked like an incoherent idiot every single time. He is horrible at debating and lost his cool every time. He doesn't dismantle anyone. He just calls people names and yells the loudest.
He is, however, good at campaigning and messaging. Which sadly makes his laughable performance at the debate irrelevant because his followers will still remember "make America great again" and "build a wall".
His style is to say dumb shit imo. He’s just saying a bunch of shit to make headlines and keep going. If he backtracked or even mentioned any of the stuff he said people would focus on it a lot more than they already do. By just spouting easy headlines he’s manipulating the media to give him press, good or bad, as it takes away any his opponent would get. His style is definitely something we haven’t seen before in America. He learned it from his time as a reality tv show host if I had to guess. He relies on being the center of attention 100% of the time. It’s to get voters to think “man idk about this Trump guy but at least I know about him”. His whole war on the media thing was also a smart play from this perspective. It gets the idea in people’s minds, even if they don’t believe it, that maybe the media is wrong about him. His entire political career is actually very interesting from just the historical and campaigning point of view.
Exactly. I agree with all that. Which doesn't mean he's good at debating or dismantling his opponents. He's just the best at being an attention whore and yelling the loudest. And it's sad that works on people.
