As of today, particularly in Florida, Trump is experiencing a kind of resurgence. This is probably attributable to the recent announced premium rises associated with the affordable care act as well as the continuing drip of WikiLeaks. However, it is also probably a sign that many of the Republican" never Trump" are backsliding. The rush away from him among Republicans was primarily on the basis he was a crude jerk. Their current thinking is probably along the lines of he maybe a crude jerk but he is our crude jerk.
It is too bad there has been so little discussion of him on the merits. He is surpassingly ignorant about foreign affairs and clearly has no semblance of a strategy. His series of tax and budget proposals are in their own way just like those of Paul Ryan. That is they are at best implausible. It is also curious that he is not being attacked on his claim he is a builder. As far as I know, there is no trump construction Company. For years all he has done is license his name to projects. It would be interesting to hear how the new Trump hotel in Washington DC was financed and built. Particularly, does trump or his companies own any of the real estate ?
In the best of all possible worlds, not only would he lose the presidency but his brand would be tarnished beyond repair. But, I will take a losing presidential bid and be happy.
