5. What our pundit class can rarely bring themselves to say...

because they have long participated in the lying, Trump is creating an alternative reality for political purposes. You can fool some of the people all of the time. With only 50% of the electorate voting, you need 25.01% to control the country. Maybe 10% are voting their own self interest. So he just needs to convince 15% or so that they can’t trust anyone in the media (but Fox News and talk radio) to tell them the truth. Demoralize the left, throw in a little voter suppression, some election rigging and you’re there. If, on some fine day, the left shows up to vote, this nightmare could be over.
