Here'...LAUGH HYSTERICALLY at Trump-to his face.<br /> Here's what Brit David Mitchell says:<br /><br />''That’s the strongest way of responding to him: to point at the shitting man and laugh. He can’t dismiss that as liberalism. He’s been a ridiculous figure for years. The most dangerous thing we can do now is stop finding him funny." <br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/13/dont-ban-donald-trump-just-laugh-at-himPallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610910291627363042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-42545685767316085752015-12-15T11:08:17.834-05:002015-12-15T11:08:17.834-05:00Who would you rather be the GOP nominee?

I think you are correct that Trump feeds off outrage and it strengthens him -- and it may be a winning strategy in the GOP primary but it surely won't be in the general election. If Trump wins the nomination, I think the etch-a-sketch moment will be epic because he will know that the outrageous talk that has propelled him thus far will not work in the general election. Will his base allow that etch-a-sketch moment to pass and Trump to become a more generally acceptable candidate? I'm guessing, no. That would fly in the face of everything that makes Trump special. Seems like kind of a catch 22 for Trump. His chosen path to the presidency -- probably the only one he could ever have -- is self-limiting because it's really only a dead-end path to the GOP nomination. If he decides to try to win the general without moderating his message, I guess we'd get to see just how dark the heart of America is. I'm betting he'd go down in an epic loss, though, which could itself be a useful tonic for our political process.<br /><br />There are candidates among the republicans who I'd rather become president more than Trump -- though I'm not sure that their policy positions are really much better -- but there is not one I'd rather see as the GOP nominee more than Trump.mlbxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931351723996391533noreply@blogger.com
