I don't think that the Democrats know what to do with Trump, but their attacks are amazingly unimaginative.

One thing that isn't working is the constant Democratic tut-tutting over Trump's "behavior".  Yes, he's offensive, but most Americans are more offended by constantly being told what they can and can't say.  Yes, folks should have a filter, but political correctness has, in the opinion of many, gotten way out of hand.  Hillary's lecturing of Trump on his treatment of women, etc., became unproductive overkill.  That's because Trump still gets passes for being a celebrity.  That may not be so true as time goes by, but the more Trump's enemies treat him as a "celebrity" and a "reality TV star", their attacks on his personal behaviors will have diminished effectiveness.

True on most counts. But we have even more evidence of the corruption, incompetence, incoherence, and elitism of this President. His appeal to the great unwashed masses was his vulgarity. I'm not saying that the President needs to have concerts of Haydn string quartets to show his taste, but what good has vulgarity done except to sell schlock to people?

I see patterns of failure in this President, one of which is the low approval ratings and high level of disapproval.   

Incompetence, sure. Corruption? No.

Elitism? How is he an elitist?

If anything I feel he's being too soft.

All the arguments you're making were made in 2016.

Are you serious the guy literally lived out of a penthouse in Manhatten most of his life not to mention a place he literally calls the 'Winter Palace' among his many other homes.

"Elitism" is not living higher on the hog than the next person; it's the idea that by virtue of wealth, education, position, etc, you have the right to pronounce judgments on the lifestyle of others and govern with those judgments in mind.  This is what people resent; the idea that remote folks somehow have the right to pass judgment on their way of life and supply "corrections".

Yes! Yes it does.

Also, conmen always have the ability to connect.

As for billionaire supports. Gee how 'bout Rebekah F*&(ing MERCER.

Here is a video of Trump in 1988 talking about how he gets along with normal people far better than rich people: https://youtu.be/Usb0iE5WiZI?t=70s

Trump is well known in New York City for not being a part of the "rich Manhattan bubble."

You must be mixing Trump up with someone like Clinton or Romney.

BILL Clinton has always had the common touch; HILLARY Clinton does not.

Romney is a decent enough man, but he oozes elitism and can't shake it.  He can only win when elitism is what the public demands.
