22. Dems need to come up with strategy to deal with Trump's name calling. We can't go toe to toe

with him in that realm, he is the king of bullies. So we need to dismissively shrug off his name-calling and don’t take the bait. Make him look as stupid as he sounds. Stand up to the bully with intellect and make him look Ike the Buffon he is. I don’t know why the press doesn’t embarrass him by asking him simple civic questions that no doubt couldn’t answer. For example, “Mr. President, how do you square the use of American troops at the border with the Posse Comitatus Act?” Does anyone think Trump knows what posse comitatus means? Embarrass him like the press did to Palin. Show her ignorance
