It is also the Catch-22 in which the best of our journalists may find themselves. Lay off Trump and normalize him. Or attack him and provide more elitist fodder for the gremlins who support him. For whether you sympathize with their plight or not, gremlins they are. That’s why nothing Trump does, no matter how egregious—not making fun of women or minorities or the disabled, not flirting with white supremacists, not asking Putin to breach American security, not using the fascist slogan “America First,” not refusing to release tax returns, not lying again and again and again—none of these can damage his support among those white male non-college-educated voters. For them, these are not reasons not to vote for Trump. They are the very reasons why they should vote for him—because he is so inappropriate, because he is so wrong-headed, because he antagonizes the people who antagonize them.
Folks need to recognize this is not the capture the independents election, but an election strategy based totally on turn-out. tRumpt knows the crazier and "anti-PC" he sounds the more the Reich Wingers will turn out. So, expect an outrageous statement per day or per week, there is method to his madness. Unfortunately.

1. How about the media keeping his feet to the fire and calling out his bullshit. Ask him every day

where his tax forms are, about his connections with Russia and every outragius statement he has made. He says he can't release tax reports because he
is being audited and it ends there. He says he has no investments in Russia. What about the Russian investments they have with him here? When he makes some
comment about Hillary's marrage ask about all his wives and underage girls.They don't ask follow ups and when they do they let him get by.

2. "The gremlins who support him" will not change, fodder or not. Media must EXPOSE Trump.

The wobbly swing voters, low information voters, must see Trump for the narcissistic psychopath he is -- see the danger he is.

No dilemma.

Where are his tax returns?

3. Need to get Trump endorsers to publicly un-endorse. EXPOSE Trump to do that.

Ryan & McConnell and others need to un-endorse. Now.

Trump's base is going to turn out one way or another regardless of media coverage.

Every time Trump has to backtrack and publicly take back something he said is a win. Like the "NFL letter".

4. That's exactly the way to do it...

Let it be known if they don't un-endorse him, then their tacit approval will be hung around their necks like an albatross!
