Three rules for leaders

In the light of the tutorial I am thinking about this tweet by Hillary Clinton

The key block that she is hoping to please is obvious but what is not so obvious is how she plans to satisfy them after the election.
 
Donald Trump's tweets are harder to read if wanting to identify the keys that he is seeking to attract to himself.
This one is pretty clear. It is appealing to gun owners. Implied is that he will block any gun regulation.

Most of his other tweets seem to be appealing to the dissatisfied people as indicated by his slogan #drain the swamp. It appears that he is more interested in stirring up a revolt rather than leading the country. If Hillary does win this election, she will have to deal with the aftermath of his rebel rousing.
 

An interesting piece about ex Democrats in Ohio turning towards Trump.

Their motivations - disgust at Washington politicians and desire for a shake up
- feeling let down by loss of manufacturing jobs in Ohio.

Win or lose, they feel that Trump has already changed the equation.

Many here blame free trade deals like NAFTA for sending jobs offshore, so Mr Trump's promise to wind back globalisation and to focus on domestic economic growth resonates, even though economists say that will make things worse.

Mr Marchese said Mr Trump had changed the face of politics whether he went on to win or not, because his supporters had now mobilised.
"Future races will be a bloodbath because they're not going to go away," he said. "It's not going to go away."
