I didn’t read all the way down, but will just support one point he made: if you provide ANY answer to the question “have you stopped beating your wife yet”, which is the set up for every media hit, then you lose. And they want you to lose. That is why they love this tactic so much. They will ignore serial killers if they are Democrats, and find moral outrage for Republicans who jaywalk. That is the way it works.
By not apologizing, Trump of course nurtures his ego. But he also does not buy into this game where he will invariably and necessarily lose.
As I have said on a number of occasions, the only way you can deal with this system is through relentless offense. Their whole method is to put doubts in people’s heads, to make them feel guilty about crimes committed dozens of times a day by the Left, and to slow them down, and stop them.
Romney did not go for Obama’s jugular when he should have. Why? He is a decent, introspecting man, and he feels some bonds of human decency. That is a fatal defect when dealing with wolves. Whatever his manifest flaws may be, lacking a killer instinct is not one of Trump’s shortcomings.
And when it comes to sexual escapades, I will note that Bill Clinton was fucking an intern in the Oval Office, and nobody seems to care. Hillary seems to be a lesbian, and nobody cares. Hell, I don’t care: that is by far the least disqualifying thing about her. My only objection is the lie of their marriage. They are political allies, nothing more.
Trump is over the top, but none of that really matters. If we are supposed to normalize gay marriage, why not infidelity and sexual voracity? We’ve been through the sexual revolution. John McCain cheated on his wife, too, as far as that goes.
