He's a talented celebrity incumbent demagogue with a personality that connects well with a crowd and a TV audience. That's going to be hard for either one of the two old geezers to beat, especially in our system rigged to benefit Republicans, and no other candidates so far announced have any chance against Trump at all. We have no FDR or Reagan in the wings this time. Keep those "objective facts" in mind, Mr. Brower, as you make your astute reports and reflections on history and the polls.

Over the weekend, Pete Buttigieg was in a town hall on Fox News, interviewed by Chris Wallace .  He stayed true to his message, and got a standing ovation at the end of the interview.

Trump is not bulletproof.

The JFK of our time?

Perhaps, though not necessarily ascendant in 2020.  He's only 37, so he has a lot of future to live through. Being President this soon may actually be a burden.  What's his second act?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
