I agree with the sentiment expressed earlier in this thread that it's probably a little too early to label him "the best ever" Prez. However
as a transformational political figure I'd place his hat into the ring as one of the most consequential additions in a long long time.
Look at what he's done simply by his candidacy? He's completely transformed the GOP, and forged a governing coalition that is leaving the major opposition (Democrats) in shambles. I mean they are totally flummoxed by this guy, and they don't know how to handle him. They literally tried
everything to stop him, and they're worse off now than they've ever been! On top of that, he's solidified the Conservative base of his own party, purged the RINO wing in it, and brought members to the point where
almost no one feels comfortable challenging his candidates or his agenda.
Remarkable.
He's remaking the entire approach of average voters concerning their attitudes about holding Government accountable. Let's not overlook how he's thoroughly emasculated the Praetorian Guard "fake news" legacy media which used to protect the ruling elites and controlled their agenda designed to keep the American voters fat, dumb, and happy! (look at
@moe) :joy:
When you look at how the entire political landscape in this country has in fact been turned upside down since he came down that escalator in the summer of '15, I can't think of anyone besides perhaps Reagan in my Lifetime who's been more influential in terms of the raw body politic.
He'll go down in history as a unique political animal at the very least, and he just may be one of THE most successful Presidents in terms of his lasting legacy in American history. Depends on how all this turns out.
You may hate me, but you can't ignore me!
