Lol, it seems like every time Trump makes an idiotic blunder, there's some hot take that he's actually playing 4 dimensional chess.  He isn't, he's just an idiot.

This.

It every time he has opened his mouth and said something stupid, it is has ended up to hurt him(remember when he talked about that judge?). As for taking away attention from the DNC, please....do you know who we have on tonight?

The Republicans didn't nominate Pat Buchanan for President until 2016, see.

Yet they remained major portions of the base. It has been a boiling cauldron for years.

For God's sake, he could win a 45 state landslide somehow and you'd still say he ran a terrible campaign. You can't even admit he's a worthy adversary when he's literally beating your candidate?

He is running a sh**tty campaign, seriously what has he done that you can even say is smart? He managed to piss off every group outside of non-college educated whites and he needs to make inroads with those groups to even have a chance.
