    Jeet Heer Retweeted Brendan Nyhan

    Trump doesn't know how to modulate or de-escalate. That's why talk about pivoting to center didn't make sense.https://twitter.com/BrendanNyhan/status/709026305413672960 …

    Remarkable how Trump keeps doubling down again and again rather than playing it safe. Scary prospect for what he would do as POTUS.

        @HeerJeet The left is used to using violence and going unpunished. Now Trump is replying with violence. The Left is confused.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        @HeerJeet There's a distinction. Trump will moderate on policy because he doesn't have any conviction. His process/style will remain fascist

        @mdcohen Right, but the fascist style is going to prevent him from any gains he could get from more moderate politics.

        @HeerJeet But he used to hold more centrist positions on certain issues. To me he’s playing to his crowd & will change when his crowd does.

        @HeerJeet Once he has the nomination in the bag, he’ll shift, knowing Republicans will vote anyway. Pure cynicism.

        @trevor_cole He'll shift policies but he can't shift who he is. His process/style will remain authoritarian/lawless.

        @HeerJeet @BrendanNyhan His overriding motivation is to project strength. He won't do anything that smacks of weakness.
