(Reposted excerpt:) "Picture this: It's the weekend and you're a 78-year-old man running for the highest elected office in the country. National polls suggest there's an almost razor-thin margin of popularity separating you and your opponent after a debate that didn't exactly go in your favor. How do you drum up more support? Do you hold another fundraiser? Release a detailed, more comprehensive plan for healthcare? Or do you pick a fight with arguably the world's most popular music idol and her legions of devoted fans?

P.S. Perhaps in addition to the above, just a very, very tiny sampling of some of the hateful/incendiary things that Donald Trump has said publicly (one way or another):

"Donald Trump 'suggested shooting migrants in the legs'"

"Trump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley"

"Trump mocks Pelosi family as he rallies conservative support in California"

"Most Republicans Think Trump's 'Eating the Pets' Debate Remarks Are 'Weird'"

...On and on, ad nauseum...
