      Trump's great weakness may turn out to be that he always has to "be himself," that he can't adapt.

      If so, the way to defeat him is to put him in a situation where being himself will destroy him.

          An ordinary moderately wise person would see through such a trap, but Trump will dig himself in deeper.

          But we have to choose the situation more carefully than the Democrats did during the election.

          It has to be one where by digging himself in deeper, he does actually harm himself, rather than making himself more popular with his base.

          The good news is, winning the election will have given him much more confidence that following his instincts will always work.

          If so, becoming president will strangely enough have made him weaker.

          Bad leaders do more damage than good ones do good. I think the US is in deeper trouble than most people think ... I hope i'm wrong.

          one would think running for president would be one such situation.

          one would think that such a situation had occurred already? He is protected by his past failures as it becomes a matter of degrees

          Before investing so much time plotting his defeat let's first see how he governs. Many believe him their best hope for real change.

          how could this be done more dramatically than with gold star parents or a disabled person.

          I think he already is. Just playing out with tanks and global security.

          This strategy hasn't worked yet; it has only empowered him and enamored him with his supporters.

          But President Trump may actually be a better option than Pence/theocracy.
