I’m not sure he should be tweeting responses to stuff like this. It makes him look a little immature and gives them more fuel for the fire.

I don't quite agree. George W. Bush is a prime example of one who took the high road. Hollywood stars used to bash him too in these bogus award ceremonies. His response was to ignore them.

All this did was cause the Left to pile on him all the more, eventually reducing him to a laughingstock that nobody respected or took seriously anymore. Even conservatives started using him as a punching bag.

I hope Trump keeps returning fire. It's obviously working for him.

His downfall was in failing to actually be conservative. He's a Connecticut yankee in a ten gallon hat.

Oh I definitely agree that he should be hitting back and defending himself against some of these attacks. It’s the junior high insults that I think he needs to avoid.

Hit them back with facts and pointing out their own hypocrisies. Like Kellyanne is doing. Don’t call them stupid, show how stupid they really are.

As Marv Albert would say : “the basket and the foul”.

Spot on. Couldn’t agree more. All this high road talk went out with the militarization of the left and the democratic party the last 30 years. Being above it and classy, etc, etc, etc will only get a conservative/republican ground into dust by the radical-alt left.

Most Repubs would rather lose graciously than fight back. Plenty of FReepers fit that bill.
