McCain and Romney were both suffering from paralysis of analysis, in which they both simply bought into the line that they were racist, sexist, homophobic bigots. This line, apparently, was very effective, but only because they ALLOWED it to be effective. The Donald, however, has never bought into this line. Like a huge Caterpillar D11% bulldozer, he simply rolls over these attacks, and in doing so, invalidates them.
Herself thought the “woman card” would provide enough cover to simply duck away from this onslaught, but The Donald always had the Trump Card.
If nothing else, The Donald has blown apart the conventional way by which politics has been played in this country since the 1930’s.
Yes Trump is truly the Phalanx CIWS system of politics.
He uses Tweater like a Gatling gun.
