“As for the frequent advice we see to Trump, saying to stay focused on issues and not get distracted with personal attacks.....”
You are correct. They gave that same advice to both McCain and Romney and when you look at the list of U.S. Presidents, neither name is on that list.

"You are correct.

- Interviewing black journalists had some Republican bitties wetting their pants -- oh my goodness, you can't say such things!
But did you notice, the black audience loved it!
They well know they're being gaslighted by Dems and love someone who'll tell it straight. - Massively attacking GA Gov. Kemp! That even had me a little wet -- WTF! Why cannibalize our own?
But the key there is Trump's words that Kemp is a "bad man", meaning, I suspect, that Kemp sold out to the Democrats' vote stealing, and will do so again in 2024?
So I'm guessing Trump thinks he has no choice because he'd lose GA to vote-stealing anyway.
And perhaps Trump still hopes to advance David Perdue in GA politics? The point is to encourage MAGA even when it's opposed by RINOs -- at least that's how I see it.
It's a tough call -- if Trump loses GA and therefore the election, people will say: it's because he insanely attacked Gov. Kemp.
The Trump response, I'd think, could be: no, Kemp was going to corruptly throw the election anyway, and now at least we have a MAGA resistance capable of resurrecting the party after its defeat.
Was there some connection between Kemp and Fannie Willis?
I don't know, but for sure Trump is taking very high risks with hopefully big pay-offs, and I'm fine with that, even knowing some of those risks could blow up in his face.
As a certain Mr. Dooley said in 1895: "Politics ain't beanbag...".
