In 2015, Trump dominated the primary elections. His debate strategy had very little to do with valid political theory and had much to do with coming across as the alpha on stage. Up against the 17 other contenders, Trump's condescending and arrogant personality came across as being the person with the most leadership qualities. He dominated the stage. He owned it. He was in charge. That's what people want to see in a leader.
When it came to Hillary, the same condescending and arrogant personality looked horrible next to a woman. Trump came across as a bully rather than the alpha male. However, he still was strategic enough to win the general election.
Trump is someone who sets his mind out to do something and accomplishes it. He has had plenty of failures, as all successful entrepreneurs have, but he does anything and everything he can in order to win. Whatever roadblock comes up to prevent him from personal success, he will trample. That's just Trump.
This year, it looks certain that a man will be elected as the Democratic presidential candidate. On the debate stage, Trump will look like the alpha male and will dominate the election once again, as he did against 17 other male candidates. The general population doesn't use reason and evidence in order to come to conclusions about what positions they should take on all the political issues and then measures those up with the positions of each candidate, both in their rhetoric and in their track records, and makes a decision based on that. People are stupid, and they vote stupidly. They're going to vote for the alpha, the leader, the person who owns the stage, and that person is going to be President Trump.
