6. Remind me again: How productive has Donald Trump been in politics?

Oh, right.
I forgot.
He has zero job-experience in politics and his policy-proposals get trashed by people who actually know economy, policy and foreign-policy.
My bad.

Why haven't his advisers told him he is bad at it? Unless of course they approve of it.

I suspect that this is someone who never listens to other people anyway, so it would be pointless to try and control him. But he would do better if he weren't such a loose cannon.

He is, after all, his own best consultant on all matters.

"The best people," in his estimation, are those who acknowledge his greatness and the wisdom of his decisions.

Thus, if Trump wants to be on Twitter, nobody in his organization is going to tell him he shouldn't be on Twitter.

Of course Hillary and her staff would not personally do it.

Bernie has been called nasty names. The same would have been done to Warren.

The goal is to associate that term with her in the mind of the rubes - Crazy Bernie, Crooked Hillary. Every time you think Hillary, think Crooked. Doesn't matter if you believe it, your subconscious mind provides the emotion, and the criticism is invalidated.
