VDH on Trump's election victory

Victor Davis Hanson from the fall of 2016, shortly after the election. Have you ever heard anyone call Obama a nihilist? VDH did! “I always go with the candidate who is 51% more conservative. In this election it was a no-brainer: Trump was 90% more conservative!” “Hillary had created a crime syndicate. There was no doubt about it. Pay for play!”

Trump had all the right enemies! He also has animal cunning (VDH gives many examples).

Comey got what he deserved and is now disgraced.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for someone who abuses the Constitution and lectures everybody how moral she is! Obama won’t pardon Hillary; he only cares about himself! Trump put the Clintons in permanent retirement!

When you have power, you have to use it and use it and use it.

Victor gives a lot of credit to Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon. Trump has to make the white working class, 27% of Latinos, and 20% of blacks a permanent part of the Republican party. He needs to keep going out to Ohio and Michigan and show people he likes them and wants to do right by them! (and what has he been doing this week)? If he can bring economic change, I think he will win 40 to 50 percent of the black and Latino vote!
