Every wonder why the democrats and left wing media have had such a hard time "taking Trump out? Let's look at their playbook and find out:
1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
Trump doesn't care about their power, real or fake.
All the other Gopers were afraid of the media's power. Trump took them on. They were afraid of Pelosi. Trump calls her a 3rd rate politician. Same goes for special interests like the immigration/refugee lobbies. Trump sees they are powerless or that his power is equal/greater.
2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
Because Trump is so much smarter than his enemies he causes them to counterattack outside the expertise of their people. Which means their base can't follow along. See the stupid impeachment failure. It was so far outside
..their base's expertise not one of them idiots could follow along with it and Trump countered it all by saying it was a "perfect phone call" and releasing the transcript.
3. "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
This is impossible for them because
...Trump is smarter than them and if he doesn't know something he quickly learns the subject.
4."Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
Trump doesn't have his own set of rules. His are changeable per the situation. He is a negotiator thus flexible.
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
Trump doesn't care. He makes fun of himself. His answer to their ridicule is to
counterattack them with his ridicule not to defend against their's. (The left calls this counter punching, bullying btw🙄). Very few times does Trump attack first.
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
The left have no humor, so their people can't enjoy their tactics.
What ends up happening is their people just get more and more angry and upset then riot and burn it all down. They aren't enjoying it they are lashing out in anger
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
It's been 5 freaking years with the same tactic, enough said.
8. "Keep the pressure on."
They can't because Trump doesn't care about their "pressure". In fact, some will say it feeds him. Most time, he laughs at it.
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. "
The dems/left are out of threats and Trump always saw their threats as empty. What more could they/the media threaten to possibly do to Trump?
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
They have tried this for 5 years. The fact is, unlike most people, Trump doesn't care about pressure so maintaining constant pressure is useless.
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
After 5years of pushing negatives, we can see this play in their playbook is useless when you start with a negative.
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
Their alternatives are Biden, Heelsup, Queen Nancy and Schumer...LOL
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. "
They can't do this because they can't separate Trump from his base.
When they try to Pick Trump as a target, they can't help but to include his base (deplorables as an example), When they try to freeze him, they are freezing his base as well (bunch of racists, xenophobes etc), when they personalize it, they are making it personal to his
...base which drives up their support for him. When they try to polarize him, they are turning off 65+ million people because they can't separate him from his base.
As you can see. The dems/left wing media have failed to "take out Trump" because he read their damn book.

A theory of mine that I never heard batted by others. Trump won 2016 because democrats voted for him in PA, MI, WI, OH etc. The media wants you to forget that fact and act like all democrats hate Trump. IMO, those same Trump democrats voted in 2018. The media didn't find them
...because they were looking in the wrong place. They expected the Trump democrats to vote for republicans. Why would they? They aren't Trump republicans. They are Trump democrats. They would be much more likely to vote for democrats in 2018 than republicans at the congressional
...and state level. If that occurred then the turnout in 2018 for Dems in the mid term election wasn't all anti-Trump but also Trump democrats voting like they normally do, for democrats. It changes nothing about their support for Trump. They will vote for Trump in Nov.
In life, you often find yourself having to pick between the lesser of two evils. I can understand after 4 years of the two minutes of hate campaign run by the democrat media complex where some might not want to vote for Trump even though his polices have benefited you more than
..any other President in recent money. I understand how after listening to the fake media brainwash u into thinking orange man is bad or he sends "mean" tweets u might be hesitant to pull the lever for the man that ended ISIS and made Islamic terrorism a topic no longer
..discussed nightly around the table nightly. I get it. The 2 min hate campaign by the left wing media for the last 4 yrs has been powerful. You might dislike President Trump's tone, due to the intense brainwashing, to the point u forget Trump cut your taxes and brought about a
People get hung up on names. The left uses it to their advantage by constantly changing their name when their polices fail. They then pretend they aren't that group that just caused mass death & poverty. So, call them what you want. Leftists don't change their spots. You can call
...them Marxists, communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, democrats, socialist democrats, open society members, globalists, national socialists, post modernists, Antifa, anarchist, left winger, radical, Bolsheviks. It really doesn't matter what you call the left
....because as soon as their polices fail again and cause untold death and misery they will change their name and attempt to hoodwink the people to give them one more chance because you know that wasn't "real socialism"
