Every time President Trump goes on the offensive like this, there is a flurry of dire predictions from his detractors, saying “He is his worst enemy! He has gone too far! This time, surely, he has ended his political career!”
Then, his approval numbers rise yet again - because rational Americans know that if the Republic is to be saved, it will take a leader willing to fight.
The 64 Dollar question is, “Are there enough Rational Americans to win elections?” I tend to doubt it.
His approval numbers have not ever risen when he goes on a rant like this. Ever. Quite the opposite. Rationale people would otherwise be receptive to his message simply tune him out by default. Writing off millions of potential voters is not a winning strategy. Had Hillary not been so corrupt, she would have easily won.
I never said anything about ending his political career, just about his capacity to hand ammunition to his enemies. He won’t lose a single supporter over this but he won’t ever gain any either, and as Hamlet said, “ there’s the rub.”
