Finally an article with some thoughtful analysis and not just straightforward Trump bashing. America got to be where it is in the world today by being tough and pragmatic. It seems to me that Doyle is right, Trump is the embodiment of those values and the electorate wanted someone like that after the rather soft Obama. After all the bombastic bluster Trump's basic message of making America great again resonated with a large segment of the public. Is he a little over the top sometimes, yes, without a doubt. However the media's reaction and coverage of him has certainly been over the top as well which no rational person can deny. The personal attracts on him by mostly formerly irrelevant news anchors has been abysmal. These anchors have been competing with each other as to who could be the most vile and odious in their attacks, and as that brought ratings they became even more hideous, however at great cost to their reputations.
