He is good at messaging, Obama and Bill Clinton were good at messaging. Hillary not so much. I am behind Pete for this very reason.
Trump knows how to message too, that's why he is so dangerous. We are fooling ourselves if we don't recognize how he zeroes in on his marks and whispers nasty nothings in their ears. He is planning to do this again, with perhaps an even more lopsided electoral victory than 2016.
Whoever our candidate is, ability to send the right message to the right people is a critical skill.
