You are right. Trump is walking into the same firestorm Palin faced in Tucson.
The man needs prayer, though he doesn’t know it yet.
Trump is prepping for battle, reminding his supporters in speeches and Tweets that the attack ads are from the Super Pacs that have bought and paid for the GOPe and Jeb Bush.
If he can pull it off, he’ll be the Trump Tar Baby. They harder they slam him, the more obvious it will be that the same forces that have deceived and betrayed us are the ones hitting him with everything they’ve got, and each smear becomes a testimonial that Trump is the only option.
So far he’s been brilliant with the messaging. This will be his biggest challenge yet, but I think he’ll pull it off and turn the GOPe slings and arrows to boomerangs.
