He's very good at one thing, igniting his crazy followers to vote. I will not under-estimate him in 2020. For the love of God, I hope we don't see any "thank you for your concern" replies when people express caution that he could win a particular state, or that a poll is close. These snark replies were all over the place in the moths leading to Election Day 2016.
