Humorist Scott Adams was ahead of the curve in predicting that Trump would prevail in the Republican primaries. Aside from issues of policy, Adams noted Trump's technique of persuasion which even the most blatant Trump-hater must acknowledge have gotten him to a place they didn't expect.
In this blog post, Adams offers some suggestions about how to address the anti-Trump factions. This won't convince Republicans who see Trump as a stealth Democrat, although it seems clear to me that Trump, whatever he is, certainly isn't a dogmatic Democrat.
I hear wails of hopelessness and despair from some quarters. History may prove those people right, but it seems to be a bit premature to surrender at this point. This has been a season of surprises; at this pace we may be surprised by more surprises or surprised by no surprises. (Yeah, as Taranto would say, I'm out on limb with that one. So be it.)
Anyway, having watched the other Republican wannabes flame out, I figure either Trump will do it or nobody could have done it. No point in giving myself ulcers over events that have passed entirely beyond my control.
