I am fairly certain Trumps support cuts across all socioeconomic class lines - you cannot simply attribute support for Trump to the breakup of the nuclear family in lower socioeconomic cohorts. Granted many of his supporters may be a bit less educated on average but even well educated high income people support Trump. I think other forces are primarily responsible - Trump is able to pursuade people to support him without recourse to detailed facts and reason. Instead he communicates primarily via twitter - essentially by slogans. He also is able to activate and sustain an emotional connection to his followers that few other politicians can match. Maybe human beings are far less rational than we think.
Someday someone will create a supercomputer model that mimics the human brain - I suspect that there will be a set of parameters for that model that produces support for leaders like Trump. Imagine what politics will be like then - if will be possible to construct a custom mindf%&* political message for each person and send it to them. Basically demagogery on steroids.
His foreign policy has been better than Obama's, and that's the most important job of any US president. Three of my strategic forecasting companies have confirmed this.
Debates? They favor the clever over the deep. I don't watch them. (Kennedy's false assertion of a missile gap, he knowlingly lied) set the tone that reached today.
Have you read, "The Art of the Deal?" I haven't, as I'm told it's a difficult book to get through (like Ann Coulter's, "Treason", which I gave up reading after 3 pages due to the little "poppy bombs she threw at liberals.) However, according to Victor Davis Hanson, explains the President's negotiating style. He wrote, "The Case for Trump" and likens him to the tragic heroes of history such as Ajax, Patton and Ridgeway. Will he be a Tragic Hero or just tragic?
As of right now, my wife is refusing to vote. Virginia’s going for Biden, regardless, so the urgency is low. And she says she regrets voting for Trump to keep Hillary out of the White House, and doesn’t want to have the same feel of guilt if Biden proves as incompetent as Trump (albeit within the normal parameters of American political incompetence). We’re in Eric Cantor’s old district, so my motivation is more to keep Abigail Spanberger, who is working hard for bipartisan consensus solutions against her own Speaker. Her Republican challenger has just gone so Trumpist and would caucus with the House Freedumb Frauds, that I just can’t pull the lever for him. It is a sad state of affairs.
