Yes, and my point is that this notion of yours (and the NYT's) that there are swing voters who decide to side with Trump "out of distaste for shrill critics" is total bullshit. Thank you for repeating it, in case I had forgotten it since I pointed out that it was bullshit yesterday.

You're wrong about Trump voters not changing their minds.

That woman who volunteered for Ron Paul and is now the example of a Trump voter sticking by her man in the face of Trump's critics -- she is not changing her mind.
There are some swing voters. But the NYT pretends that all voters are swing voters.

If the Democrats focused on how he lied to the blue collar voters and has not delivered for them, they'd peel away the purely economic voters in his base. Focusing on the social wedge issues (immigration, #metoo, Russia) is preaching to the converted. Dems already have all those voters.
If I were running against him, I'd slam the tariffs' negative impacts on jobs and the increase in gas prices relentlessly.

No one is running against him right now and now one can focus any message against him.
