THEY SAID HE COULDN’T WIN IN 2016. NOW THEY SAY HE CAN’T WIN IN 2018? Remember all those “experts” who couldn’t conceive of any scenario in which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would not win the 2016 presidential contest against Donald Trump. In many cases, the same experts are now predicting Republicans will get shellacked in the 2018 midterm elections because of Trump.
Now along comes LifeZette White House Correspondent Jim Stinson making a solid case for the proposition that Trump won the White House by ignoring conventional political wisdom and passage Wednesday of the biggest tax cut reform in U.S. history points to the likelihood that he will do it again next November. Are our political experts like the generals who are always fighting the last war?
Here’s a sample of Stinson’s analysis: “Wednesday’s triumph enhances Trump’s reputation as the disruptive leader who is keeping his promises and draining the Washington swamp. His tactics have always been disruptive, but now Washington’s GOP Establishment seems finally to be moving in his direction.”
