Donald Trump will prove to be one of the greatest and most consequential American presidents, at least since Ronald Reagan and possibly before. No one will ever approach Washington or Lincoln, but Trump is positioned to be one of our most important leaders and be a true change-maker, turning this country around at a time when American power and greatness were on the wane.
Although I had previously suspected as much, I was convinced of this watching his performance on 60 Minutes Sunday. What we saw was Trump in the presidential mode he has long promised and he slipped into it remarkably easily, as if it had always been there and needed no coaxing. The daffy Donald of the primaries and later was far in the rearview mirror. (Was it ever real or just a masquerade?)Read his analysis here
Here's another guy who predicted Trump would win: Roger Moore
"I take no pleasure in having called this five months ago. So I don't want to hear that, really," Moore said, relating a segment on the network where panelists had made fun of the Trump campaign expense report showing the largest expenditure on red hats. "...We wear ball caps. We, to borrow the Dylan line, the country I come from is called the Midwest. This Middle America thing -- and the reason why they have this anger toward the media, this kind of elitist thing... that was laughable that they weren't spending money on getting new polls or doing -- 'they have no ground game.' 'They have no ground game.' Are you kidding me?"
"First of all, the ground game has occurred over the last 30 years and this did not turn people into Republicans, because it started under Ronald Reagan in Flint, in Detroit, where people lost tens of thousands of jobs, and their lives were decimated and they were kicked out of the middle class and when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers and other unions didn't stand up and say anything or do anything, that was the end right there. And it just got worse and worse and worse for working people," he explained.
