Former President Donald Trump is arguably the most thoroughly scrutinized politician in the world as his Democratic opponents and the media, but I repeat myself, have repeatedly combed through every conceivable aspect of his life and viciously attacked him over every real or perceived fault.

Despite all of that and more, Trump still has a legitimate chance to win re-election in November -- a fact that completely baffled an anti-Trump columnist for The Hill, former GOP campaign staffer Myra Adams.

Yet, in pondering "Why Donald Trump can say anything and still win the election," Adams perhaps unwittingly stumbled across the answers to her own question, whether she likes it or not.

Despite everything, Trump could still win

Adams expressed a sense of bewilderment that former President Trump, despite all of the things that he has said or done and regardless of the multitude of allegations of wrongdoing lodged against him, continues to retain the support of roughly half of the nation's voters.

She asked rhetorically, "Why does Trump have his unique ability to say just about anything, no matter how unbefitting a presidential candidate, and potentially still win?"

Throughout the op-ed, Adams proceeded to touch on several reasons why that was the case, albeit in a dismissive manner and intermingled amid thinly veiled insults against Trump's loyal supporters.

Media plays a big role here

Adams appeared to suggest that former President Trump's supporters have a fraught relationship with the "truth" and how it has become "expendable, bendable and sometimes artificially created" -- but then in the next sentence acknowledged that "our warped media outlets promote the truth that pleases their audiences."

That is damning, given the overwhelmingly predominate liberal bias and stark prejudice against Trump of the mainstream media, which has incessantly lied about, maligned, and smeared him for years.

Case in point is the ABC moderators for Tuesday's debate, whom Adams admitted "performed on-air fact-checking only on Trump for his most egregious utterances," yet never similarly fact-checked Vice President Kamala Harris or demanded answers when she routinely dodged their questions, according to Fox News.

Trump's supporters have not fallen for the partisan lies, narratives, and prosecutions

In her op-ed, Adams shared some of the discussions she's had with her "Trump-loving friends" about why they continued to support the former president and appeared taken aback by their responses.

She was especially shocked that the Democratic and media narratives about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and "insurrection" of 2021 had failed to take hold, as she herself has clearly bought into the highly politicized and predetermined effort to blame Trump -- and only Trump -- for the complex situation that spiraled out of control.

The columnist also seemed to recoil at the idea that Trump is broadly perceived as a "victim" on the right of Democrat-led persecution -- either forgetting or willfully ignoring the overtly partisan multiple impeachment attempts and prosecution efforts arrayed against him.

She learned nothing

Adams also referenced the beliefs of her "Trumpy" acquaintances about possible election fraud and Democratic cheating to try and keep the former president out of office, but was just as dismissive of that as she was of the other valid reasons Trump's supporters stick with him throughout the concerted and coordinated assaults of Democrats and the media.

In the end, the columnist revealed that she'd learned nothing from her purported attempt to figure out Trump's continued support and hyperbolically concluded, "Therefore, expect the Nov. 5 forecast to include thunder and lightning with a 50 percent chance of chaos, while the world watches American democracy undergo a stress test."
