If his people are not smart enough to lead the dialogue
You’re lecturing his people when they’ve got him at the top of the polls? Who exactly are you?
I am an outsider looking in. If he wants to win, he will crush them on issue after issue, never pausing long enough to let one get stale. If he can capture the imagination without dwelling on any one long enough for it to get stale, he will win. People’s imagination will take him there. You just have to let him go on to new territoery, otherwise he’ll get bound up with crap arguments and dishonest objections
