You want some "sequitur" snowlfake? Try this. I highlighted the best part for you since you don't read or comprehend very well. Read it and weep (after somebody explains the implications to you) Trump prepares to pull a rabbit out of his hat Don Surber by Don Surber You know President Trump's visit to Duluth this week was important because CNN and MSNBC failed to cover the event live. Trump is about to do to 2018 what he did to 2016. Barely three years into his twilight years career as a politician, Donald Trump learnt the game quickly, applying the skills he honed as negotiator and a celebrity to his new occupation. He rewrote the rules on campaigning, which allowed him to spend half as much money to win 10 more states than his Democratic opponent. A key to this was Republican Get Out The Vote efforts. Reince Priebus did an outstanding job and Scott Walker's ability to deliver Wisconsin -- barely -- sealed the deal. The Cheeseheads had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Reagan in 1984. Which brings us to Duluth, Minnesota, a state Hillary carried by 1.5 points. President Trump went to support Pete Stauber who wants to be the first Republican congressman to represent the area in 72 years. President Trump carried the district by 16 points. He knows the area. Like West Virginia, the district voted Democratic religiously only to be done in by the anti-industrial policies of Democrats. "At the rally, Trump threw his support behind copper-nickel mining in Superior National Forest, to huge cheers from the audience," the Associated Press reported. Rallying for other candidates did not work well for President Trump last year. Senator Luther Strange lost the Republican nomination in Alabama despite President Trump's support, and Roy Moore lost the election to Democrat Doug Jones. 10 days later, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 into law and his political fortunes have changed dramatically. First and foremost, the tax cuts have brought the party's rank and file in Congress to his side. There are some still fussing. But many of those barriers to success -- most notably Jeff Flake and Bob Corker -- are leaving Congress. Their open seats will be filled either by outright Democrats or Trumplicans. Ronna McDaniel, the Republican chairwoman, is helping pave the way for the Trumplican Tsunami. She has raised a record amount of money thanks in large part to President Trump's economic boom. "The RNC is investing in over 70 races across the country. We're already on the ground in 27 states. In California two weeks ago, there were seven races where Hillary Clinton won those districts. In six of those districts, more Republicans turned out than Democrats. That is very good for us in those primaries," she told the Rippon Society. Do not discount the Republican Get Out The Vote efforts. They are a key to winning. The ability to organize is unsexy and gets scant press coverage, but it wins elections. But you need ideas, accomplishments, and a personality to win elections. President Trump provides Republicans with all three. Howard Root attended the Duluth rally. "At least 25 percent of the audience was under the age of 30, and around 40 percent were women. The senior citizen percentage was less than 10 percent — the lowest I’ve ever seen at a Republican event. Other than the hundred or so party leaders, this was a vastly different crowd from the Minnesota Republican Convention that I attended in Duluth three weeks ago. None of the attendees I spoke with in the concession line at the rally were politically active (other than voting) and none were born-and-bred Republicans," Root wrote. "My big takeaway is that the atmosphere made Trump’s words almost irrelevant — and I mean that as a compliment. Trump understands emotion unlike any other politician I’ve followed. He stages his delivery with plenty of smiles, frequent claps (to the audience) and the longest walk to and from the podium I’ve ever seen. The two big differences between Trump and the usual politician are that (1) Trump never asks the audience for anything other than to be happy, and (2) Trump’s shtick is received as 100 percent authentic. Until I saw it last night, I never would have believed that a one-hour political speech could capture a 10,000-strong crowd from start to finish. A Trump rally is the one political event where you have to be in the room where it happens to understand how it works." President Trump is an excellent closer. He sealed the deal in 2016, and he sealed the deal in Singapore. Midterm elections are disasters for the party of the president. It took the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 to save Democrats, the impeachment in 1998 to save them again, and 9/11 to save Republicans in 2002. President Trump will pull this rabbit out of his hat. I predicted that in April. I see his plan. McDaniel and others do that boring traditional political stuff, which is like sticking rabbit beneath the hole in the table -- leaving it to Donald Trump to pull it out of the hat. Let us hope he isn't Bullwinkle.
