Trump absolutely blew it by dredging up memories of his second worst moment in the primary (second to ridiculing a disabled man), his bashing of Megyn Kelly. His polls were hurt by that incident. Trump’s ego just got in the way of good strategy.
I’ve seen Trump use the exact same gestures when talking about Anthony Weiner.
That dog don’t hunt.
His polls weren’t hurt, not on this planet. And they won’t be hurt this time. Read what Morning Joe said about it.
