Daily Twitter trumpet

For the Democrats to beat President Donald Trump, they need to respond to the Daily Twitter trumpet as one would to an infant throwing a tantrum. The Democrats' righteous kneejerk reactions, while often justified, play into the hands of uproar and distraction that seem to feed Trump's base. Ronald Reagan used "there you go again" to great effect when debating incumbent President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election. The Democratic candidates would be well advised to use a tactic like this as well.
