        When the boy that acts up in class settles down and produces a half decent essay in period 4 English, it is a miracle.

        because deep down their gripe with Trump wasn't his policies, it was his lack of decorum and presidential character.

        2. There are some Trump-specific reasons: the soft bigotry of low expectations ("he can read!"), also desire for false balance
