Donald Trump says whatever he wants, without regard to consequences.
Generally, only artists are allowed such freedom of self expression. (They can erase things, try another color, or scrap it entirely.)
Such style has enormous appeal, but traditionally in politics there are negative consequences.
What remains to be seen is whether that is changing.

As you know we have had these conversations around here. And about 2/3rds of the “abortion is murder” crowd think that despite that “murder” fitting the definition of Murder One (premeditated), the punishment for the crime that about 2/3rds to 3/4s of abortion foes want is – misdemeanor murder for the doctor and the woman goes free. Hardly worth all the energy put into the topic.
In other word the “abortion is murder” folks are hypocrites. The Donald has a way of pointing out such things.
But it does kind of wreck a Republican dog whistle to point out that most of the “abortion is murder” people really don’t mean it.

The advantage to being on both sides of every issue is that people on the opposing side can tell themselves – he is lying to those OTHER guys to get their votes.
It is amazing that Trump pulls it off so well.
