I disagree. Trump is too good with the media to be stopped by an enemy that sits in place. Dumb tactic.

I support Trump, but Trump is a battlefield general. Anyone who wants to defeat him must do it on the battlefield. They just haven’t found the right attack yet.

Same as with Robert E. Lee. If they’d sat still with him (as McClellan virtually did), then the next thing you know, he’d have been taking Washington, D.C.

It took them 3 years to figure out Lee’s vulnerability. I expect it will take as long with Trump.

you are correct.... and I love it

You could be right. But his biggest vulnerability besides his "brand": ie persona, his touchiness, and his blabbermouth is net favorability, about which one doesn't hear much these days.

His hardcore base tolerates, some even revel in, his vulgar public language, vicious attacks, gross attitude towards women and so on. He can maintain his frontrunner status with 30% or so, and the MSM may be able to secure him the GOP nomination, but in the end they'll constantly go after him with everything they can find. That's the plan IMO.

Though he may not care ".... what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass", most ordinary people do care about gross public behavior and language. FR once pulled a comment of mine in which I quoted one of his f-words in a speech. He pisses a lot of people off, and 30% won't win a national election.

Lee’s biggest vulnerability (and everything else is but an ephemeral shadow by comparison) was the Confederate government.

Much like our forces in Vietnam.
