Trump is trouncing the competition. He's doing so well that the
prediction systems give him a 81% chance of winning the nomination -- despite the opposition of the
entire Republican establishment.
What's most surprising to many pundits and analysts is that Trump has
done this without presenting all of the detail plans, voluminous
position papers, etc. that we've come to expect over the last couple of
decades.
He has simply refused to play by those rules, and he's not paid a price for it.
Trump is able to pull this off because he's not running a political campaign. Instead, he's running an
insurgency.
Not only that, it's a very specific type of insurgency. A type of
insurgency so effective, it held the US at bay in Iraq for years, drove
oil prices to $147 a barrel in 2007, and toppled governments in Egypt,
Tunisia, Syria, and Libya.
This means he is playing by very different rules than his
competitors. Let me walk you through an example of what I mean by that.
