Analysis: Hillary Rodham Clinton could not stop him, and Robert Mueller so far has landed something less than a fatal blow. So the task of defeating Trump in 2020 may now fall to Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hillary Rodham Clinton could not stop him, and Robert Mueller so far has landed something less than a fatal blow. So the task of defeating Donald Trump in 2020 may now fall to Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Four years after he served notice on an incredulous political class that he was not joking — he really intended to run for president and win — Trump has retained his ability to provoke and to thrill, to make soft-spoken people spit and foam, to endlessly entertain that segment of the population that enjoys seeing the other segment in a state of outrage. He still sends his partisans into paroxysms of ecstatic devotion.
The reason Trump so far has avoided this fate may be that he is defined by paradox, which in turn creates suspense: No one can confidently say how this story will end.Seen in one light, it is easy to imagine Trump once again defying his haters and winning another term. As my colleague Scott Bland notes, when you run the numbers on some of the most influential models favored by economists and political scientists to predict incumbent performance, they typically point to his reelection.
Of course, none of the operatives trying to reelect Trump or trying to beat him have any confidence that they know what “ordinary” means anymore.
