That's what amazes me about all these Trump opponents. There doesn't seem to be one whit of political acumen among these "seasoned veterans".
When the Chicago riots cancelled Trump's appearance, any REAL politician would have seen the opportunity and come out with something like "God knows, I have differences with Donald Trump, but this fascist anti-free speech is despicable and I call on all freedom-loving candidates to condemn these tactics." I suspect he would have gone up 10 points, but no, they all committed political seppuku by blaming Trump.
I was leaning Trump but a little nervous about him. I kept hoping Rubio or Cruz would sway me. They could have really won over nervous supporters of Trump if they didn’t have little Jebbie’s and the GOP elites’s secret pow wow rattling around in their brains.
