Screaming "people are stupid" when trying to win their votes in an election is not a great strategy to winning elections. Talking down to voters is ALWAYS a bad idea, politically.
Even going back to "The Apprentice" I never got anything but a clueless nepo-asshole boss who blames subordinates for everything energy. Some people obviously get the "of the people" energy but i'll never understand it. I do remember being forced to watch "Celebrity Apprentice" on Fridays in a 2008-09 throwaway High School marketing class and feeling the same way I feel about him now. The teacher of said class however called him "A genius, who could one day be president." Sigh.
It's because he actually is your racist uncle who watches 18 hours of Hannity every day and complains about how alimony is unfair to men, even though he's never been married.
My guess: populist voters. Less "left/right" aligned more "us/them" aligned. Hovde and Harris don't exactly exude "of the people" energy.
And trump does? People are so stupid!

Fortunately, I'm not campaigning for anything, so I'll continue to call stupid idiots stupid.

Lol I think most of those boxes were checked then but if he's still alive I hope he had a better life these last 15 years.
I've loathed Trump since the 80's and never understood his appeal. But I guess carnivals have a midway for a reason, most people are rubes.
