Smearing path to nomination marks Trump campaign style
The piece argues Donald Trump relies on attacks on opponents to undermine public trust in their worth, using schoolyard taunts to shape voter perception. It cites Trump clashes with Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post, questions about veterans' charity funds, and attacks on Hillary Clinton and a Mexican-born judge, framing these tactics as his main political strategy and warning of risks to democracy. Donna Brazile is noted as a Democratic strategist and commentator.
