I think what all these hypothetical FORGET, is that Trump custom-tailored his strategy for Hillary.
If he had faced Pocahontas, or anyone else for that matter, he would have used a different strategy to WIN.
I think EVERYONE OVERRATES the significance of Hillary’s NEGATIVES, and UNDERRATES that Trump is just a freakin’ genius at communications and strategy.
He is our newest Great Communicator.
LOL - yes, I know you're right. I figured it out when Trump targeted Walker (to test the water) then Jeb - because he had the most money and 'staying power'... and took them both out. It was also fun watching people who had no clue what Trump was up to (like Morning Joe and O'Reilly) giving him 'advice' on how to win.
It was funny if not painful at times watching. Trump's like Bobby Fisher (years ago) listening about how to play chess from some unrated high school teacher.
