Dave Smith: How Donald Trump Won This Moment

Dave Smith discusses the strategic elements that enabled Donald Trump to win this pivotal moment in politics.

"Trump's approach and timing were impeccable in winning this moment," Smith states. "He managed to leverage his understanding of media and public sentiment in ways that no other politician could."

Smith then criticizes Trump's opponents for their inconsistent stance:

"If you're going to say this guy is literally Hitler and that democracy is on the ballot, well then you can't wish Hitler a speedy recovery. … Trump’s enemies need to decide—is he the ultimate evil, or is he just another politician? You can't have it both ways."
