The Donald Trump Era of contemporary politics has managed to upset conventional wisdom all over the place.
Consider that the former TV celebrity/real estate mogul/stable genius entered presidential politics … and no one gave him a chance of winning the presidency.
Then he did.
Four years later, he lost his re-election effort. He continues to mix it up. And those wacky polls are spreading conflicting messages. They told us Republicans would seize control of Congress. At this writing, that takeover remains an open question.
What the hell?
Conventional wisdom no longer exists.
