Trump successfully uses many liberal tactics against his opponents, both liberal and otherwise. He personifies, in some ways, the most effective of Alinky’s rules - especially the use of ridicule.

These are explicitly the tactics used by liberals every danged day.

The GOP electorate has been clamoring for someone to use these same tactics against the libs, but the GOP party bosses are too afraid to face down whatever criticism it might generate. The voters are mad as hell, and surely seem prepared to not take the GOPe bullstuff any more.

I've had similar thoughts: for example, that Trump's actions have a "tactical" character to them--basically, that he knows what he's doing.

In other words, there is a speck of truth in Alison Howard's comments quoted there, but the "social mores" being broken aren't really what she presents. I wonder how much of this supposed "Trump anxiety" is actually unconscious concern or even veiled anger that the real versions of those mores are increasingly exposed.

But nothing on that pathological liar, Hillary?

Really? How full of crap can the craptastic Feelz douchebags be?

They just make this s*** up as they go along. Anyone who believes a word out of these idiot’s mouths should be laughed out of town on a rail.

Anxiety The brazen disregard for The brazen disregard for voters by GOPe,Dems and MSM. People feel betrayed, used and hopeless when seeing the level and depth or corruption in politics. It has always been there but never so in your face.

“Trump anxiety” is the liberal realization that their own tactics suck when employed against them.

And, yes, I fully believe that Trump knows what he is doing with those tacts - although I sincerely hope he can ignore the temptation to use such tactics when needed, such as when dealing with a head of state. I suspect this will not be an issue - he has done a lot of building work around the world - but I have not personally seen him rise to such occasions.

It’s called “Trumpitis” and can only be cured by having a Trumpectomy.
