What follows is a deeply unscientific test of the public’s subconscious views of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Note: This might not work outside the United States
To play along, follow these steps.

I can think of several ways a future President Trump could get Mexico to pay for (some) of the wall.
In a prior post, I talked about turning the border into a tourist opportunity that creates enough money to pay for the wall, but that’s the hard way.
The easy way goes like this:

As you know, I have been blogging about Trump’s persuasion skills. But what about the other candidates? We need some equal time here. Today I will tell you everything I know about the others. I have to confess I haven’t been following them closely. I only know what the headlines have been telling me, but I think that’s enough.

On December 4th, 2015 I predicted that Michael Moore’s “We are all Muslim” movement would not spread far beyond the faint gravitational field around his own body. I haven’t heard much about it lately.
How do you score that one, readers? (I know, that was an easy one.)

Prediction: Watch for someone in Mexican politics to publicly agree with Trump that Mexico might pay for some part of increased border security.
Then watch that turn into a pundit battle about what that actually means.
Does it mean pay for the entire wall?
Does it mean Mexico already pays a lot for border control, and this is just business as usual?
Is paying for some of the wall enough to say Trump was right?
That’s when you will start hearing the word “landslide” a lot more.
Update: Some of you wondered about the reach of this blog. Here is an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal that quotes me and the Master Persuader filter. What’s missing is a mention of my 100% track record for Trump predictions. That’s the part I PREDICTED WOULD BE IGNORED.
Wrap your head around that: I got nine-out-of-nine predictions (ten if you count my prediction that Michael Moore’s protest would not catch on) and that record is not the top headline in every publication? The Master Persuader filter predicts that my feat can’t be processed by normal brains. (Obviously my regular readers with their abnormal brains can see it fine.)

All the buzz today is about Trump’s new ad. Some people on Twitter asked for the Master Persuader filter on it.
Note: For new readers of this blog, I don’t endorse Trump, or anyone else. I’m not smart enough to know who would be the best president. My interests are in Trump’s persuasion skills. I have a lot of background in that area.
My overall grade for the ad is A++++. It might go down in history as one of the best political ads of all time. I’ll break it down.

If you have been following the Master Persuader theme in this blog, you know I correctly predicted nine-out-of-nine political events in 2015. And I did it right in front of you. That might blow your mind a little bit.
Several people asked whether I have done this sort of thing in the past. The answer is yes, in the sense that I have consciously attempted to change national opinion using the tools of persuasion. I suppose you could call that a prediction, albeit a personal one, because I imagined the future and saw myself changing it. And I didn’t see failure as a possible path.

Here I will paraphrase the latest Trump/Clinton exchange:
H. Clinton: “Terrorists are using Trump in recruitment videos.”
D. Trump: “Of course they go after the person with a HUUUUGE lead in the polls. I predict they will make more.”
See what he did there?

I predicted toward the bottom of this post that Trump was setting up the country for a “mom versus dad” showdown with Clinton – at least in our irrational minds. When election day comes, if the country needs a hug, mom wins. But if there’s a noise downstairs, you probably want dad to get the baseball bat before mom does. (Because you’re a sexist.)
