An excellent strategy, all considered. When your opponents rivals are making fools of themselves, it is not necessary for you to engage actively in the fight. All the lunging and feints by Fox News (i.e., the “Army veteran”, the “illegal alien”, and the “knowledgeable Muslim”) were artfully dodged, and what was intended to be accomplished by throwing of The Donald into a nest of vipers was circumvented.
All in all, avoiding a Saul Alinsky type encounter was a most skillful application of “The Art of the Deal”.
Amen! Spoken from an old timer / plank holder point of view. Well stated FR friend!
