My criticisms of the tweets were made virtually simultaneously certainly contemporaneously with their publication and my criticisms have been entirely borne out both by the establishment media's reaction and by his poll numbers which are in the tank.

The purpose of my criticisms is to get him to stop these impulsive tweets and start courting the public with the image of gravitas that his approval numbers reveal he so desperately needs. I advise him to do this not to rebuke him but to make him more powerful so that those policies of his of which I approve might succeed. Just as I reserve the right to criticize him for the artlessness of his tweets on occasion, I reserve the right to criticize him for policies which I do not like. I have also praised him, sometimes even for a tweet, when his policies meet my approval.

Before you take a cheap shot saying that proves that I am arrogant, all it proves is that I participate in a political forum for the exchange of opinions and I have some. Your admonition that my "inability to credit-or even comprehend" his strategy may be correct but the idea of a political forum is to express political views even when I believe his strategy is wrongheaded. To express our opinions is precisely why we gather here.

Worth repeating.

Great post — as usual! I learn from your posts. Where I disagree, I know you have the most intelligent opposing view, and absorbing it will broaden my mind even if it doesn’t change my mind.
Rock on.

I’m sure sargon can stick up for themselves, but as I also (criticized your post (later on) Let me jump in here to say... thin skinned are we?

If you can’t take criticism, you ARE in the wrong place.

Should we call a “wambulance”?
