“Sometimes I think it is OK
for Don to say he disagrees and let it go.
Some of these opponents may be of use down
the road.”
Wrong tactic. When someone is attacking you, you nip it in the bud. Otherwise they will do it some more. Kind of like ISIS with Obama. And Trump’s opponents will be of no use to him in the future unless he chooses them to be. I doubt he will need them for diddly squat.
If Trump will ever accomplish anything of value in our government, he will need help - including from politicians. All these threats and insults may be entertaining (even cathartic!) for certain voters, but they will not create true change. Bluster won’t, for example, make Congress repeal ObamaCare.
Also, criticizing people and telling them to “be careful” hardly ensures they won’t attack you again. In fact, in many cases, it will make them more likely to.
GW Bush would never defend himself and Trump
won’t shut the hell up. Perhaps both you and
Trump could both stand to learn the difference
between “attacking” and “criticism”. The time
he just spent on 10% Carly could have been put
to better use. And, her explanation of why
she separated from HP is no less valid than
his explanation of multiple bankruptcy filings.
