Donald Trump is a Natural Born Politician

I don't like him but I have to give him credit on this. He is acutely aware of how to navigate the contemporary political landscape. He know how to use misdirection as good as any politician I've seen. He knows how to hold the national media's attention for good or bad. He knows his base inside and out. He can flip-flop on an issue and make his supporters think he isn't. He knows how to take credit for things and promote that as an achievement. He can get away with obvious falsehoods and contradictions like no one I've ever seen.

Donald Trump is a phenomenal politician. I will give him that.
