It's the kind of moment that I love to laugh at.

The quote as best I care to remember it from his town hall:
Retribution? I won't have time for retribution. I'm going to be making America successful. That success is retribution.

Ah, so no time to make America successful?

I always say the way to undermine Trump's chances in the election is to focus on pointing out to his potential voters that he fails at the things those potential voters think he's good at. Too often people attack Trump in ways that actually make him look good to those voters.

Believe it or not, a lot of Trump supporters think Trump can talk good. Amazingly enough. So I would think making fun of his rhetorical gaffs would be a minor path of criticism, pointing out that he actually can't put sentences together as well as his supporters think.

But ah well, at least I'll laugh privately about these occasions.

@volkris

Volkris, once you have an opinion, you stop interpreting facts that don't support your opinion. You presume that Trump supporters would listen and have intelligence enough to recognize fact from fiction, uh ... not really

@PerryM Keep in mind that potential Trump voters are not one monolithic group.

Many of the different clusters are on the fence, or considering different strategies, or have entirely different, often opposite motivations from others.

There is plenty of room to peel voters off, but unfortunately so many attacks against Trump are strategically unwise, actually uniting them.

I think so many misunderstand Trump voters as being a single, unaccessible block, and through strategic missteps actually strengthen them into that.
