Else You Are Mad

I just had a very disturbing thought...

Trump's current 'meltdowns' may just be an attempt to satiate the news cycle with his name in an attempt to minimize any coverage of Hillary. The more absurd things Trump says, the more likely the MSM media is likely to run whatever offensive or dumb thing he says all the while taking time away from Hillary and her policies.

The Clinton campaign needs to get in front of this ASAP with Kahn like attacks that get under his skin or we are lost. We cannot just assume the low information voters knows how awful Trump is if all they hear and see is about Trump.

Remember no publicity is bad publicity.

He has consumed all US media attention for five consecutive days now.

I think it would be best to attack and whittle away at Trump's facade like the Kahns did so frequently that he doesn't have time to tweet about it before we move on to the next person. I am sure there are enough contractors and subcontractors that have horror stories that would be able to destroy him every day until the election.

ETA: Maybe we should go through his lawsuits and find those he fucked over and get their stories and release them.
