Discuss the difficulties of developing a strategy to counter Trump's actions and behaviors in politics.
The Democrats could go out and hire the shrewdest, most competent political junkie in the world to come up with a strategy to deal with Trump and his brave new white America, but it wouldn't make any difference. How does anyone develop a strategy to counter someone who's primary M.O. seems to be total disruption of the status quo, cavalier disregard for any kind of long-standing convention, and who plays so loose with the facts that even his most ardent supporters have shed the pretense of caring anymore? Even political wunderkinds like James Carville on the left or Frank Luntz on the right would be hard-pressed to come up with an effective strategy to deal with that particular kind of crazy. Trump may be crazy, crazy like a fox, or both, but at this point I think reading Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and George Orwell's "1984" is probably about the best course of action now. We're way past the point where strategists can help Democrats figure out how to deal with Trump.
