Right there in plain English, the strategy that worked for Trump twice, because the GOP party machine crafted what (double-digit percentages of) voters listen to, and the politician, to be one and the same.
And rallied every week for four years promoting him like a rock star on the road.
When 4 years earlier after his first disastrous term, a wet dishrag could have beat Trump, and that's pretty much what happened.
Now there's no other way to beat that system any more.
It's not rocket science. It's pop culture. Intellectuals won't help you now.
The Democrats don't have a single person they can rally a crowd behind, and it would have to be an already-popular individual that's attractive to non-voters more than either party has had, and stick with them.
Every single week, rally after rally. If Trump could do it, a younger person surely can.
