...that Trump's slim, pseudo-majority voted for him impulsively. It's "impulse buying" as marketers like to call it. (Remember how easily the "Hillary's email" nothingburger swayed the votes in the last weeks before the election?) Something similar could happen again and we must prepare for it. We must have all Democratic pundits ready to respond in a unified voice. We must build the Blue Wave pressures BEYOND what seems necessary.

It's clear to me that Trump's bloom is off his rose (another metaphor!), but the low-information and shallow analysis legions can be moved to buy with any dumb "new and improved" sticker.
