“Trump has risen because voters see him as authentic, independent, direct, firm, — and believe he can’t be bought,” Baker writes. “These are the same character traits our candidates should be advancing in 2016. That’s Trump lesson #1.”

That "strategy" is so bad it is mind blowing. Trump, like it or not, is REALLY who he is. Trying to be like that when all you really are is a water boy for the GOP is profoundly and painfully lame.
