I've always been in favor of going high in the past, but this time is different. Acting like a juvenile wouldn't be good, but not hitting a moving target when you can, or mildly & logically just pointing out that Trump "is not a good fella" or "hasn't had your interests at heart" ain't gonna cut it for me.
A good leader is strong enough to call it like it is, to tell the people what's at stake. "His policies have been so bad for America" isn't gonna cut it. A good leader will sound the warning bell, "Hey, folks...this man is dangerous to the country, to hardworking Americans, to our democracy. Never again will we cage children in dog kennels, where toddlers will be left to sleep on concrete floors, where records about who their parents are won't be kept. That's not America, and that's never going to happen again in OUR country." Things like that.
The fog horn has to be sounded loudly for Americans to get it. To understand what's happened in the country, and what COULD happen, if he's re-elected.
