How all this will translate into very real public policy once in office is yet to be seen, and I have always said we are taking a chance, but this chance was better than the certainty we had if the vote had gone the other way.. it's always better to have a chance at something better, than to resign to what is worse in some kind of defeat.
But I was paying very very close attention to what was happening, and that was exactly it. The times trump changed slightly in a proposed policy, was when he was getting overwhelming negative reactions to what he was saying.. he wasn't paying attention to polls or the media, so much as he was paying attention to social media, and that policy, those negotiations to come to a solidified position, is why he got elected.
He spoke to people, and found out exactly what they wanted, something no one else bothered to do. And he did it using 140 words or less.
