Well, I don't know what he should do, because I think he shouldn't be there. Worse, there is no one or no strategy that I think would be effective that the base would allow, so it's pretty much a moot point. The base wanted a bull in a china shop and that's what it got.It's not just the fact that he's attacking them, which is a questionable strategy, it's the intensity and the sheer volume.If he anticipated this, that's fine - but if they play a role in bringing him down, he will have brought much of it on himself.Anything under violence, I reckon, and that won't be needed.
The press is doing their work for them, it's on a mission, and it will only get more intense now.
Trump perpetrated the one sin with the press that is worse than being a Republican: He not only questioned their professionalism and "objectivity", he attacked it. That's the one thing that overrides politics with them. The press has always been convinced that it is the one thing that is above politics, all evidence to the contrary.
Trump and his fans weren't aware of that rule, and it's too late now.

Not sure what you mean. We were well aware of the fact that the lefty media and lefties in general felt entitled to dominance and control and would be vicious little fucks if/when challenged.
This is merely a matter of degree to their normal behavior.
The insults, the name-calling, the "the media is the enemy of the people" thing - that may have thrilled his base, but it took their response up at LEAST a notch.
So enjoy the attacks, just understand that he has made them even worse.
Allowing your enemy to attack you without any response or attempt at fighting back, is a sure fire way to lose.
That you want to blame the victim(s) of an attack, for fighting back, is your liberalism warping your perceptions.
This should be noted, though, by all those lefties who insist that you are not a real liberal.
Calling them the enemy of the people? I never know when the guy is serious, but that's not a small attack.

High intensity and high volume is the only possible way to be heard though the filter.
What do you think he should do? Calm rational debate? We've been doing that for generations, while our enemies have been drowning the nation in propaganda.
And we have lost, perhaps irretrievably.
