So, given the mounting evidence for vote manipulation, I can't believe that anymore.

10mo ago, I would have agreed though.

He defeated every Republican rival and took control of the GOP through the voters. Even if he cheated, which he did, him having support of even 40% still proves he understands the American voter in a way few do.

I'm not sure. You may be giving him credit that belongs to Roger Stone, but in essence I don't think you're wrong about the zeitgeist that he's latched onto.

I guess in all likelihood, it's that, plus the cheating, and without both he wouldn't have won.

It all feels very inorganic to me though. Astroturfed, especially this second time.

It doesn't matter though. Probably the last president.
