He's doing quantitatively more damage now.
i agree that it could have been politically more successful to point out matters of skill and capability but candidates FAR LESS flawed than trump regarding gaffes have killed GOP chances since years.
i think we can all agree that joe miller and todd akin and richard mourdock potentially would have been far "safer" picks than trump and all of them lost.
trump single-handedly changed the rules and now the social conservatives praise the guilty....Dems must adapt but i don't think anybody has forseen that the rural voters became cynical enough to accept everything.
