It was. But people need to remember Trump was polling at 1% or so until he started gaining in summer 2015

Trump deserves to get shytted on. Has he seen what's going on?
This bit resonates..
Musk and Trump’s attack on what they see as Democratic honeypots, whether U.S.A.I.D., N.G.O.s, or federal research grants, are politically motivated and almost certainly misguided. (Musk, for instance, posted on X that U.S.A.I.D. had sent fifty million dollars’ worth of condoms to the Gaza Strip when, in fact, the aid was going to Gaza Province, in Mozambique.) But I imagine they will also uncover a fair amount of actual bloat and corruption. In the past, the liberal establishment’s response has been to gloss over the actual instances when things don’t quite add up and point out that the other guys are worse. That might very well be true, but this past election showed that the American public actually does care about the lies that liberals sometimes tell, especially about the fitness of the sitting President. There’s a decent chance that, by 2028, Americans will be so desperate for any normalcy that they will vote for anything that feels stable and institutional, but I don’t think that institution should be the Democratic Party of 2024. The damage is too severe.
The new-media prerequisites for the ideal 2028 Democratic candidate, then, are as follows: They must attack the Party establishment in attention-grabbing ways. They must produce content around the clock. And they must feel “authentic.” Stephen A. Smith is a living meme whose rise to the first ranks of sports media came through his willingness to always be onscreen, his theatrical fights, and a profound understanding of how the Internet was changing traditional media. And, because he has shown no shyness in calling out everyone from Donald Trump and J. D. Vance to Joe Biden, he reads as an independent truthteller—far more so than, say, Josh Shapiro or Gavin Newsom, who still seem like they’re doing Barack Obama impressions, or even a supposed outsider like Mark Cuban. (That said, a primary debate between Smith and Cuban would be must-see television.) If the Party has a problem drawing young men who believe that the excesses of wokeness have left them behind, could there be a more appealing figure than the guy they’ve been watching argue about sports for the past decade?

The best thing about if Stephen A became president is that he would work less as president then he does at ESPN. Cause they work him like a dog now. Dude would actually have time off.
