2. He isn't dumb

He is quite gifted con man or used car salesman. I dare say that he is the best to have ever ran for the office of the presidency in our history.

He understands human nature, what the majority wants and plays on that like our society has never seen before. Think about it!
1. He plays on our hatred of the war in iraq completely against the rest of the republican party on the stage of the primaries. People in general are sick of war!
2. He plays against free trade and outsourcing that has destroyed millions of jobs in the rust belt the past 40 years. This was a huge part of why he won those states! Hillary couldn't defend from it as she worked for a man that attempted to make it worse with the TPP.
3. He railed up human nature and hatred for others that are different.

Anyone that thinks Trump is dumb isn't paying attention....There's a reason why most republican candidates were anti-government to one extent or another the past 2 election cycles. A lot of people hate government for one reason or another....Trump just packaged himself in away that sold to these people in the best way.
