Trump is ‘rewriting’ politics

Whether you like him or not, when they rewrite the political history of the last 10 years or so, credit can be given to one Donald Trump for rewriting most of the political truisms that dominated the political arena prior to his grand entrance onto the scene.

A candidate running for office in the pre-Trump era was pretty much toast if he or she was accused of doing something illegal, immoral, or something so off-the-wall that the typical voter would look at that and decide not to vote for that person.

That was the norm.
