Should Democrats Use Trump's Indecisiveness Against Him?

[erpowers]

It seems that people from the Trump campaign are now admitting that Donald Trump had second thoughts about picking Mike Pence as his Vice President. Should the Democrats try to use this against Trump by saying Presidents have to be decisive? Would it be better for Democrats to be thankful that Mike Pence is the Vice Presidential pick an just go after Pence's stances, or should they point to Trump's indecisiveness. I guess they could do both.

3. Yes

Decisiveness is a big thing for right wingers. Remember "The Decider?" They want a strong, decisive leader!

4. I can't decide.....just kidding, of course we should!

5. Well, it might be difficult...

to fit it into the list of things that Dems can use against him. But I'm sure there's a place for it.

6. Hillary already had an ad on the web...

......before his speech was finished about his indecisiveness

7. It's all easy.

There is no path of least resistance, here. It's all easy going.

Conservatives at all levels do not understand the mechanics of logic or fair debate. They are tolerant of hypocrisy, and trust their leaders to the end no matter how bad they are...

... Unless they are embarrassed into malevolent inactivity. There's no reason to be fair or consistent--they don't understand such things and we do. They do understand shame, sometimes. And once in a while they can be reminded that their stupidity cannot be used against them if they just stay home on election day.

That's how we smashed Romney and we can do much better this time.

8. Yes, Trump should be called on it

How does Trump convince the American public that he really does think through his decisions?
How can the American public trust Trump's choice of people included as advisors when one of them spilled the beans on this?

9. Yes, but there is a catch:. Democrats will have to be decisive and clear.

13. Donald Trump Fails The Commander-In-Chief Test ... Indecisive! Wavering! Weak!

Thursday, July 14, represented Donald Trump’s first test as the would-be commander-in-chief of the United States. He failed it badly. Facing the unexpected need to react to the carnage in Nice, France, on the eve of his vice-presidential announcement, Trump stumbled, froze, raged, and ultimately beclowned himself on a global stage. The man who would command America’s armed forces couldn’t keep a secret, waffled on his decision, and rushed to declare war on an unknown enemy.

Trump’s first operation—selecting and announcing a running mate—revealed a complete lack of command, control and communications. After endlessly attacking Hillary Clinton over her email practices, the Trump Army couldn’t keep The Donald’s evangelically-blessed choice of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence secret for even 24 hours before the planned Friday morning unveiling. When the news leaked before Trump had even formally extended the offer to Pence and his fellow contenders, Trump decided to use the bloodbath in France as a smokescreen for his bungling. As Kelly O’Donnell reported for MSNBC, the supposedly tough-talking, $10 billion man moved his announcement event to Saturday not out of respect for the dead, but out of cowardice:

Trump’s brain trust was worried about his discipline and steadfastness, and with good reason. As The Hill revealed last month, "Some of his advisers have expressed concern that he could decide to tweet the announcement without warning." By midday Friday, both MSNBC’s O’Donnell and Dana Bash of CNN were reporting that a frantic Trump wanted to change his pick into the wee hours Thursday night. As O’Donnell confirmed on Twitter:

Sources tell me @realDonaldTrump was on phone till midnight making calls, asking if he could change course on VP pick.
