“As I Was Saying” How Trump’s got his groove back in Butler

Anyone watching Trump’s rally in Butler would assume he was the clear frontrunner to win the election one month from today. No one can draw crowds like that. The Democrats keep trying to spin it, to pretend people leave because they’re exhausted or bored, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Trump flew his plane over the crowd, as he often does, because if the man knows how to do anything it’s how to put on a good show. No one in politics has ever blended politics and entertainment like Trump has. Whether that’s good or bad is subjective. But there is no question, at least to me, that Trump fills a void that Hollywood left empty. He provides so much in the way of high drama, unpredictability, humor, and, on Saturday, a deeply moving memorial for a life lost.
