“When he started the campaign, he was liked and believed buut now he is neither.”
I think one of Trump’s strategies is to attack his opponents personally as opposed to their positions. That, he’s found, makes them angry and unattractive to voters.

In other words: the ends justify the means....
Think we heard that before....
That type of campaigning goes straight to Trumps character or temperament....
Personally. I think he campaigns that way as to not engage in policy talk, as his polices are not his core beliefs and can’t articulate them....
I think what Trump actually does is find a disagreeable trait that almost everyone recognizes in his opponents and comes up with a simple easy to remember word or two for them and then repeats it over and over and over again. Lyin’ Ted, Jeb low energy, Rand Paul a lightweight, Rubio a choke artist, Hillary a disaster. For the most part he doesn't really go after them personally in any detailed way.
But he has quite obviously gotten into Ted's head. We really didn't that hear all that much from Trump after Wisconsin other than some grumbling over the travesties in Colorado and Wyoming and an occasional reference to “Lyin’ Ted”. During the same time almost every other sentence that came out of Ted's mouth was about Trump. He went completely off message. It actually made him seem a little deranged, especially when he got testy when challenged.
