Leftists and establishment Republicans won't want to hear this, but Donald Trump is far smarter than they are. As I like to put it, he's "five steps ahead of everyone" (which is what one would expect in someone who makes high-stakes deals for a living). I didn't always believe this. In fact, it wasn't long ago in this very blog that I was calling Donald Trump a buffoon. Now, after watching him in action for several months, I think he's brilliant. He is the odds-on favorite to be our next president. If you think Hillary Clinton will demolish him in debate, you haven't been paying attention—or else you're not very smart. He will do to her what he has done to Jeb Bush, namely, make her seem petty and insignificant. See here for another observer's take on Trump.
