THE GREAT UNRAVELING

timing is everything. we were all waiting for Trump to blow himself up and no matter what he did he seemed impervious to any thing he said or did. i believe he even said that if he shot someone, his followers wouldn't bat an eyelash. and it seemed to be self-fulfilling.

until

until he went after the parents of the dead soldier.

that was a mistake. on so many levels. aside from being morally wrong it was tactically wrong.  i guess his calculus was that what the gains from his anti-immigration positions gains him more than it loses but i think this will be deemed the turning point where enough people say, that was too much. he is not acceptable.
