   It seems increasingly clear that his success in 2012 had more to do with   
   the absolutely awful competition he was up against in the world of   
   political reporting, not so much in his actual smarts.   
      
   I think what's sad is how little the world of political reporting has   
   done to catch up to where he was in 2012. There are a few more polling   
   analysts, but the overall attitude in the press is still all the   
   analysis they need can be obtained by talking to a couple of GOP   
   campaign strategists.
