Yeah, it’s totally my fault that Trump keeps up the attacks on his foes even after he defeats them. And it’s totally my fault that he has chosen to antagonize the members of our party rather then find common ground.

A good leader can pull out multiple approaches based on the situation. The carrot and the stick. I just don’t see that out of Trump, and I refuse to pretend that it isn’t an issue. He’s a charismatic man, he needs to be able to work a little charm if he’s even going to get elected, much less get our agenda through an obstinate Congress.

When Trump officially receives the nomination, he will be the titular leader of the party. But that doesn’t mean he can lead.

This is an historic election. We all agree on that. It should be an easy one, ripe for the taking. But I see opportunity slipping away, and it’s driving me up the freaking wall.

“Yeah, it’s totally my fault that Trump keeps up the attacks on his foes even after he defeats them.”

Can you cite me an instance?

He has offered a bit more carrot than I think he needs to. The senators mentioned have not let up with their sniping.

“But that doesn’t mean he can lead.”

You mean someone who can assemble a ten billion dollar company can’t lead? Does’t know how to choose the right people to help get the job done?
