This kind of criticism (although true) does not dissuade his followers. What does work is to criticize his business smarts. The more people know about Trumpâs many failed business dealsâthe lost lawsuits, the bankruptciesâthe less they like his other opinions.

I think his followers are pretty immune to any criticisms of Trump at this point. They are committed (and should be in the other meaning of the word).
What this does, is start to lay the ground work for potentially reaching some of the more âmoderateâ republicans to switch sides. Even people that donât like Hillary, are already seeing her as the person best able to deal with the world for our country right now. She is seen as tough and reasonable. This just helps underline that.

No one is trying to dissuade his followers. Everyone, at this point even Republicans, recognize that thatâs futile. Itâs all about getting passive supporters off their asses and getting anyone who might suffer extreme butthurt if, say, their preferred candidate doesnât win the Democratic primary, looking at the larger picture. And, of course, above all, making a stab at getting some of the five percent who are insufficiently civic minded to pay any goddamn attention between campaign seasons but too civic minded to not vote thinking, for that five percent decides all close presidential elections in this nation.

Big Doorâs attitude gets compared to the Japanese Relocation at the start of Americaâs entry into World War II but actually, itâs more like the racism after the Gold Rush in California.
Seriously. Back then, not only couldnât Chinese become citizens, they couldnât attend school, couldnât testify in court cases, civil or criminal; they couldnât own real estate, they couldnât work on irrigation projects, the rooms in their houses had to be a certain size, people who transported Chinese to California were subject to a bigass fine unless the Chinese had a special certificate stating they were âof good character,â but it really didnât matter a few years later because ship captains were prohibited from even LANDING Chinese on the California coast until the state Supreme Court said that law was bullshit in 1862. On top of all of that they were subject to special taxes that white people were not.
ALL of this Gold Rush Racism sounds like something Big Door would spew on the stump. ALL of it. Not only Californai but then there were some restrictive federal laws as well. I think the president at the time a lot of that became law was Chester Arthur. Thatâs how you make America great again? By taking us back to the glories of the Arthur Administration?

I am not sure what Trumpâs game really is, but he is mocking the GOP and exposing them to what they really are.
Bill Clinton urged him to run, I now see why.

interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both.
a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups.
Itâs time to stop living in denial, people: the GOP/Teatrolls have now quite literally gone from âwe need to stop Islamic terroristsâ to âfuck it, we think Islamic terrorism is to our political advantage and is giving us the excuse to say and do all the things weâve wanted to say and do, but couldnât, for ages.â The symbiosis and the extremism feedback loop are now INTENTIONAL. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

i think what will finish the trump is when his dipshitness hits his bottom line hard. when the trump brand is seriously diminished, the donald will pay attention. BOYCOTT TRUMP PRODUCTS! stay in other hotels. gamble in other casinos. let his business co-partners know you are ditching them.
Not so sure. I think that, like the NH state rep, his True Blue supporters will conclude that all those facts are lies created to make St. Donnie look bad. Facts mean nothing to those with âsincerely held beliefs.â
