This should go without saying but in this increasingly shrill GOP primary of ours I want to be clear that analyzing Donald Trump’s political tactics does not equal my condoning of them. I’ve said before and I’ll say again that as an old-fashioned sexist I believe in a gentlemanly approach towards ladies. This does not include Rosie O’Donnell, who is no lady. But it most certainly does include Megyn Kelly and Carly Fiorina. Amplifying a tweet referring to Kelly as a “bimbo” (which she is not) is not okay with me. Mocking Fiorina’s looks is not okay with me (nor is it accurate).
So let’s get the dumb food fight out of the way.
This is not about ethics.
This is not about right and wrong.
This is about politics.
This is about winning.
This is about moving past the ethical argument into the tactical argument. The point I want to make is that one of the reasons Trump is currently shellacking Establishment candidates like Jeb Bush with nearly 4 times the support, is simply due to the fact that he fights like Barack Obama and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV).
Trump fights like a Leftist.

I disagree, but then I don’t like any of the women that Trump has criticized. Carly is happy to make snide remarks about other women, but expects men to treat her differently. Too bad, Carly. You can’t have it both ways.
Cheers!
I am not fond of Carly at all. There is something about her that is not right. But Trump has to focus on other things.
He has commented more on the issues than any of the professional politicians. Seen the polls? Americans have been waiting for decades for someone who has the guts, the mean$ and who won't back down. Now the folks who've left America nearly dead on the floor are all offended and don't like what he's saying?
Should Trump simply ignore the non-stop round the clock malicious incoming attacks, slander and threats he's taken for 3 months straight?
Actually, Fiorina started the personal jabs at Trump in her last debate. People thought her performance was so clever.
I think the only reason she will be in this next debate is because CNN wants a “woman” in the debate. Unless I am missing something, she isn’t polling her way into the debate. If that is true, she has no business being there with the other candidates. Someone tell me I am wrong about this.
Interesting, that Trump, when asked about her, said that he was glad she was being “included”.
This wasn't actually said by Barnum, it was spoken by David Hannum, in criticism of both P. T. Barnum and his customers.
I agree—though it is a double standard.
Here’s Jeb! jabbing at Trump’s hair at the same time he poo poos Trump’s disparaging others:

IIRC Hillary! has made multiple jabs at Trump’s hair too.
“Someone tell me I am wrong about this.”
You aren’t wrong; you’re right. CNN included her because she whined and wore them down. She wants to be treated like one of the boys, but when something doesn’t go her way she whines like a little girl. Best of both worlds.
“I never studied her background, but I read one comment today saying she drove some company into the ground destroying 7000 jobs and then walking away with a $21 million payout to herself. If that is true, then Trump is going to obliterate her.”
And immediately after that she began giving some of that money to Hillary Clinton’s Vital Voices foundation, joined their board, gave Hillary a Global Trailblazer award. Later she joined up with the Clinton foundation.
And, oh yeah, she made fun of her opponent’s and other politician’s looks.
Agreed.
Ronald Reagan was once asked if he took responsibility for some of the problems in his administration. He said yes because he used to be a democrat.

wit and wisdom of Ronald Reagan. REALLY worth seeing.
Worst CEO ever and she’s running for POTUS? LOL! She sounds like the Repub. version of Hillary “Pay no attention to my past, just vote for me because I am female”
I haven’t been paying attention to her but I’ve had a few people tell me they like her. I’ll be sure to bring that up next time they tell me. Speaking of giving Hitlery an award, Jeb did the same thing and on the one year anniversary of the Benghazi attack. Gave her the “liberty medal” of all things!

she is very much a GOP establishment candidate. lock stock and barrel.
People like her because she was combative and critical of Hillary and of various media interviewers.
The way you've worded them, and the fact that you posted multiple times makes your questions appear rhetorical rather than inquisitive.
Good article. Thanks for posting it. I’ve often thought we were too polite in our rebuttals - good to see Trump leading with a taste of their own medicine.
I have no control over your own imagination or how things appear to you.
Questions marks actually mean something. Learn it.
