But I think you're mistaken about this:

I haven't seen any missteps and blunders. Fighting back is why he's the lead dog, the only dog with a good view.
What I was trying to get across was that despite these so-called "missteps and blunders", Trump's support was continuing to get stronger, which is a punch in the stomach for the media that are trying to destroy him.
I still think that Trump will eventually do or say something that will cause him to lose support. But I might just be wrong. It's going to be very interesting.
