The Donald is like the experienced regatta sailing captain who cuts and trims his sails to take greatest possible advantage of the wind while tacking, then unfurls the sails to the fullest once the wind gets at his back.
So for a moment, the sails had a little luff, not necessarily a strategic error, but it may have restored a little control.
It all comes down to knowing how to read the sails right, and responding appropriately.
And it confounds certain of the spectators to no end when The Donald keeps on hauling further and further into the lead.
But what do I know.
This guy Hayes ought to be “fair and balanced” when he writes this drivel. He is an anti Trump hack who was part of the hate gate that encompassed the National Review flank action against Trump. Fair and Balanced? I think not.
I like your sailing metaphor.
