Why Trump won

On Morning Joe this AM, they opened the show with the latest reason why Trump became president. They say it was because the other nominees in 2016 were afraid to challenge Trump. They saw how he attacked those who went after him and were intimidated. This follows the critics who said Trump won because Hilary was a weak candidate which was followed by Russian interference. The 2016 loss is still an open wound and will probably be that right on through the 2020 election and if Trump wins it will likely continue after that. It makes it difficult for those who oppose Trump to evaluate any issue objectively. Areas like low unemployment, prison reform and going after big Pharma, areas that opponents would normally champion, will just be ignored while personality traits will be emphasized with not being presidential being center stage. Policy will be replaced by likability.
