"None of Donald Trump's opponents ever have the balls to throw him the damn brick."

Former Marco Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan put it more bluntly in his discussion with Coppins: "There is an old quote that has been attributed to Lee Atwater: 'When your enemy is in the process of drowning, throw him a brick.' None of Donald Trump's opponents ever have the balls to throw him a damn brick. They just hope someone else will. Hope isn't a winning strategy."

It's still getting packaged up, but it will be tossed very soon.

Especially those he considers adversaries in both parties. Some of which were set ups. Don's got to Don.

If you don’t know what others will do, it’s risky to take action yourself when someone else might benefit from the outcome.
