Writes Jay Stephenson:
Trump’s spokesperson got laid into this week for blaming Obama for the death of the Khan family’s son in Iraq during Bush’s tenure. The real reason why she said it, I believe, is because after the campaign fired Cory Lewandowski and influenced Trump to pick a neocon as a VP, a decision was made not to attack Bush anymore. So what can Trump do as he’s getting hammered by Bush-era cronies this week given this newstrategy? Basically nothing. The right way to attack is to blame Bush/Clinton/Obama, but he has to stick with cliché GOP talking points that they’ve been using ever since Obama took office. It’s a losing strategy.
