Be polarizing.
Did you know that Howard Stern is worth somewhere north of $500 million? Do you know how he made that money? By pissing lots of people off. Advertisers pay based on the number of viewers or listeners for a show, and Stern learned early on that the people who hated him actually listened to his show more than his fans.
Trump is no stranger to show business, and he understands this principle well. If you try to please everyone, you please no one. But if you try to please a specific group of people, you will absolutely make others angry, and that can be surprisingly good for business.
Takeaway: Taking a stance that will make some people angry is great -- it gets you more attention, more press coverage and more fans (or in Trump's case, voters).
I am no longer sure of what goals the Democrats have for the long run - Do they seriously believe Americans will accept Socialism?
I believe many Liberal causes have merit - Universal health care for everywhere is standard in the other major nations of the World - England, Canada, etc. Why do Republicans resist it so much? - A good education, including college, is a no brainer for all - And a guaranteed income to prevent systemic poverty would be more than nice.
You can stand for many Liberal causes without becoming a Socialist - In this country money talks not political BS and Socialism often turns into political BS.

Not really my opinios - This from Fox and two of Trumps ardent supporters:
Are President Trump's worst enemies inside the White House?
And how many people who Turmp hired for Cabinet posts, etc. has he fired so far?
Michael Cohen never made it that far - I remember when Trump said his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen was a
'good man', and Michael said he would 'take a bulit for the Pres. - What happened? - Now they hate each other.
Paul Manafort another Trump supprter going to jail - Heck it's starting to look like the 'Boss Tweed' ring of the past
- A vast left wing conspiracy? - Or a group of felons who are getting caught?
What was that old saying? - Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.
With Trump apparently friends are easily expendable - Like I say he can't win in 2020.
And also like I say - Trump is a great showman, but a lousy politician.
Maybe if he had taken heed to this advice:
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. This has often been attributed to Sun Tzu and sometimes to Petrarch. It comes most directly from a line spoken by Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part II (1974), written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola: My father taught me many things here.
Then maybe, maybe he could have won again.
