      Trump says fire codes are why "we’re going to hell.” This isn't a law-and-order campaign; also not "trains on time". It's about dominance.

      He messed with other "halos" before; McCain's war record; W among Republicans, etc. It doesn't always backfire the way mainstream thinks.

          I think most politicians are risk averse; Trump seems risk hungry.

          True; and in a year where people are mostly disgusted with politics, it's not the worst strategy (though it is risky obvs!)

          Replying to @zeynep

          Very little seems to 'backfire' for him. It seems almost the opposite. Hence, November even more worrying.

          .@AhJaysusHowaya Yes. Though there's a pattern to what doesn't backfire on him among his base, and what hurts his numbers elsewhere.

          yeah, I actually think folks are tired of having to pretend to respect the elite just because they're elite.

          They want to be told who they're allowed to hate tho. Most Americans still love authority

          this is why I think his popularity relies on something far uglier than economic woes, or the waning of a way of life.
