But Trump is Trump...and the people seem to love it.
Actually, it takes more brains than guts.
Trump knows (and WE know) that the rag will smear, crucify and eviscerate him every day right up till 24 hours before the primary polling places open up in the morning.
He's now pre-empted the rag, put it on the defensive, got the editorial writers all in a state of rage where they'll over-react and make mistakes, caught the attention of voters in the entire state, and, best of all, he's earned the admiration of everyone who's ever despised a know-it-all, holier-than-thou newspaper in the past or present.
He slammed the door smack in the face of the paper's biased, lefty reporters at the event...what's not to love about THAT !!!
Damn good strategy, Donald!
