+1 In a way Trump really is a political genius. He cleared the republican opposition away like so much moldering dust on a piano and then played the damned thing so powerfully he defeated the Clinton machine when nearly every intelligent observer, political scientist and pollster thought his impending loss was a sure thing. The only other unexpected, unseasoned political opponent to defeat the Clinton machine was another political genius named Barack Obama. Simply by winning the presidency both of these guys have demonstrated a political genius rarely seen in US politics.
