There's No Out-Trumping Trump

I shudder to think what that would be like...

   A key to this puzzle (do puzzles have keys?) is of a general kind: find a saner candidate who can maximize the good about Trump, minimize the bad.

   The Dems cannot recognize / cannot allow themselves to recognize what Trump is right about, and what's good about him. The GOP doesn't really have that problem. So they can do it in principle. 

   Seems ridiculously generous to me to call Trump a "master of the 24-hour news cycle. He's just an outrageous loudmouth, and that captures people's attention. I have no idea how to combat that. 

   Trump is right about so much that it's mind-blowing. For all his absurdity, he's far less deeply crazy than the Dems. He's a bull in a china shop--but it's a china shop because it's made of views that are fragile as a consequence of their insanity. He, as I keep saying, shouldn't be allowed withing 100 miles of the Oval Office. The contemporary Dems--not within 1000 miles. So waddayagonnado? Pray, if you're a praying man, I guess...

   Anyway. To address the gorilla in the room (to squeeze in another animal cliche): populism becomes more rational as the "elites" become more irrational. Ours have joined the cult of Woketarianism en masse. Hence populism (in that sense) is now more rational than the alternative.
