And Adams does appear to be kind of a douchebag.

D. libertarianus is distinguished from the common D. republicanus by it's ability to read.

Adams had an interesting insight into Trump: his use of "Persuasion" techniques. He feels (still, per his blog), that due to these techniques, and the basic irrationality of human decision making, Trump will win.

He is wrong, because of this: you need to close "the deal" quickly before people have time to THINK on their decision. The Presidential election is too long, and Trump's BS has become overwhelmingly obvious and shrill.
