It's as though he alienates people for sport. He's so ridiculously predictable.

If he'd get out of his own way to re-tool/tailor his message, he'd be lethal. It ain't 2015/2016 anymore--he's a known commodity in the political realm, both in the good sense and the bad sense. Which means his opposition is baked in and has their heels dug in. Same with his base--so the W or L is in the margins with the independents/swing voters. Which means he has to tailor his rhetoric accordingly in order to bring in those ppl. I'm not confident at all that he's willing to do so.
