Say what you will about Trump being a buffoon (I wouldn’t disagree) but he is always
thinking of ways to give himself an advantage.
***************
The advantage he needs to be thinking about at this time is New Hampshire. He has six days
to keep his lead from melting away like it did in Iowa.
He lost Iowa by one convention vote, maybe four depending upon how the Iowa GOP committee
decides to use their three. So four out of 1237 convention delegate votes needed to win
can come from many other sources. Trump needs to concentrate on those and let
Iowa live with their decision.

You are correct. He has to keep the subject on himself but preferably on the topic he chooses. It is simple politics, and especially so the Trump Political means. And everyone who thinks about it knows it. Even those who don't want to believe it.
I mean think about it. He started the race by claiming he would build a wall along the border of Mexico and claiming he would make Mexico pay for it. And by claiming he was a conservative, despite all his previous years of statements, actions,and donations.
Of course he is saying the Iowa election was stolen from him. What else CAN he say to keep the news about him, but not focusing losing.
For his next big splash, he will probably say he intends to build a wall along the Canadian border, and make Canada pay for it. get another news cycle on something else, while also about him. Plus it ties together with his Cruz is Canadian theme. Perfect. wait for it. . .
I’s say the opposite here. He should be focusing on his winning in NH and not losing in Iowa. Trump fans celebrated every move over the last few weeks as a guy playing a master game of chess, but in the end the guy who he had supposedly destroyed beat him with a good margin. Cruz as so dumb for going to the debate. Cruz shot himself in the foot over this or that. None ended up being true. Trump needs to get back to talking about Trump and winning NH by at least 7-10 points. Then, he’s right back on track.

Well, threatening to sue does two things: First, it’s ridiculous and makes him look ridiculous. Second, it risks bringing up his long history of suing whenever it suits him, something most voters are likely to frown upon.
