“Trump’s most fervent supporters view him as the biggest winner in American politics, vulnerable only to the other side’s cheating. His most ardent detractors, especially inside the Republican Party, tend to view him as a loser in general with one flukey win over Hillary Clinton that he briefly was on the cusp of replicating against a greatly diminished President Joe Biden. I’ve often argued that Trump is best understood as the political equivalent of a gunslinger quarterback whose talents keep every game close but always runs the risk of turning the ball over at the worst moment. The conventional wisdom on such quarterbacks in the NFL is that they always keep both teams in the game.” (09/18/24)
