trump, "The Outlaw President" and American's love an outlaw

trump is an outlaw, a mythological creature of the American imagination. His tribe see's him as good, fighting the powerful folks of their oppression. Kind of like Robin Hood that steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Or, Bonnie and Clyde? Or Billy the Kid? Continue with the impeachment facts but... destroy trumps image as being one of our folk hero outlaws !!!!!

They hate "east coast intellectuals", well they pretty much hate anyone who is educated past the 8th grade. He is a bully, ignorant people flock to the bully to protect them from those who would make fun of them.

That's why I've been saying, merely pointing out his crimes through an orderly process of impeachment hearings is all well and good...But it won't defeat him in 2020

Trump against 'the elites' serves him very very well, with not enough push back from Democrats.
2020 will be lost or won in the midwest.
