Bringing Trump down is going to take political jiu-jitsu.

He cannot be wounded head-on.

But he is exceptionally thin-skinned and petty. No one has told him "no" his whole life. He is the walking, talking embodiment of self satisfied, self justified entitlement...He is your worst boss and most craven landlord and he always has been.

C'mon... they should use a little imagination and let him destroy himself (Or more likely, he'll go all sour grapes on it, take his marbles and go home.)

His multiple bankruptcies seem like low hanging fruit for the party who proclaims to be fiscally responsible (although in reality they are exactly the opposite).

as soon, like they said in those old secret agent movies, as he has outlived his usefulness. Don't worry.

He knows how to play the media, has money to throw away, knows how to pander to the GOP base on several notes. Will say and do anything to get out his "people" the GOP base. They are mad, misinformed, this makes them motivated and committed voters. They will not only vote for Donald, they will hustle their behinds for their new "messiah". Their true savior of this country.
Luntz had one of his famous poll focus groups and he poll focused some Trump supporters and according to the article, Luntz was left with his legs wobbling.

Cain, Palin, Carson, or any other GOP candidate has the same effect on the GOP base.
