Trump's superb speaking, performing, and persuasion skills.
>Yesterday he tweeted in ALL CAPS, for $DEITY's sake.
I don't support Trump, but I think all caps was probably warranted for that. It was his first response to extremely serious allegations (that Russia had footage of him telling prostitutes to urinate on each other; his inner circle was clandestinely meeting with Russian intelligence operatives and diplomats; etc.).

Is he genuinely persuasive to anyone who doesn't already agree or support his recently-found party? I watched a bit of the coverage of both sides in the debates and they were incredibly partisan in their perceptions of how each candidate had performed. I suspect that most voters just watched the summaries (which is sad, because they're stuck inside their bubble). ... then again, I'm a filthy Socialist Scandiwegian, so...
- meowface 10y ago>Is he genuinely persuasive to anyone who doesn't already agree or support his recently-found party? I'm not sure, honestly. But he's definitely very persuasive to that group, and also at least somewhat persuasive to many rural and lower class ex-Obama voters. Also, content aside, he undeniably has a captivating speaking style and cadence. Debates have never meant anything.
