People don’t want to admit it now, but there was something refreshing about Donald Trump when he first arrived on the political scene, especially compared to all the other politicians, who were saying one predictable, poll-tested, lame thing after another. He was bold and poked at convention. He challenged dumb rules that people had just lived with for no reason. He said things people thought but never said. He took positions that no Republican had ever taken, including some shared by Bernie Sanders.
