I heard Scott Adams (who turns out to be a looney Trumper) on a Joe Rogan interview before the election talk about how Trump is the most persuasive speaker running for president he'd ever seen. He pointed to how he uses simple phrases and repeats them over and over again. Joe commented that he didn't think he sounded persuasive at all, but rather like a kid giving a book report to a book he hadn't read.
Here's the rub - he's not persuasive to smart, thoughtful people. But to your average voter, he's a big clown selling hamburgers.
In all seriousness, if you watch the way he talks at some of his rallies, its not much different than an evangelical preacher.
But the difference is he discusses issues. Do you want unlimited illegal immigrants pouring across the border....vote democrat. If you want controlled immigration.....vote DJT. Pretty simple. Do you want "free" health care, college education, $20/hour minimum wage.....vote Dem. How do you think "smart, thoughtful" voters will actually vote?
If trump cared so much illegal immigration, why did he keep hiring them?
