Commentary: One secret to Trump’s political success: Donald is a 'doer'Bill Schneider http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-elections-trump-commentary-idUSKCN0XW0AI
Trump triumphs. Clinton struggles. Who would have predicted that?
Soon it will be Donald Trump, who is now the presumptive Republican nominee, versus former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton by a landslide in the general election? The great philosopher Yogi Berra once said: “Never make predictions. Especially about the future.”
Safer to talk about the past. So what explains Trump's astonishing political success? The best explanation was given in October by, of all people, the legendary rock star Alice Cooper, who said, “I know Donald, and I know he's a ‘doer.’ He's not a ‘sayer.’”
That's it exactly. Trump is a “doer.” Why are so many voters going for that? Because they are exasperated by President Barack Obama. They see Obama as a sayer and a thinker but not much of a doer.
Actually, Obama has gotten a lot of things done: healthcare reform, elimination of Osama bin Laden, economic recovery when the country was teetering on the edge of another Great Depression, Wall Street reform, rescue of the U.S. auto industry.
Nonetheless, his critics see Obama as ineffectual. They look at Washington, and they see gridlock. They expect a president to get things done. They don't want to hear, “Congress won't give me what I want.” Tough leaders like Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Ronald Reagan could get what they wanted out of Congress by twisting arms and turning on the charm.
