Showmanship

I was thinking about how Trump has caused the Democrats to cross their own red lines, politicize the legal system, corrupt the vote counting system, and act a more than a little crazy. What characteristics did Trump have that, for instance George Bush did not? 

I had a possible insight which I'd share with you. The answer could be showmanship. The last time the Dems acted this way was during the Reagan presidency. Showmanship is a talent Reagan and Trump share, although they manifest it in quite different stylistic ways.

When the GOP has a candidate with showmanship and the Dems do not, they compensate by going off the rails in various ways. Anyway, that was my insight, what do you think?
