Further, I don't think that Trump would risk this outcome. To call for action and see it fizzle out quickly and ineffectually would expose him as an empty blowhard. He cannot afford to be seen this way by the Trumpettes.
He is a buffoon and an actor, not a man of action. He will always choose to pose rather than actually do anything.
I agree.
trump wants money and adoration. urging guerilla warfare doesn't get him any money. Although some adoration, sure. But it's not a long term strategy.
My only point here is that if Trump urged guerilla warfare, it would happen to some degree. Like, say, in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Maybe the risk here is that Michael Flynn will either talk trump into warfare, or somehow take over the trump microphone and get it started on his own.
There are only a few people trump will listen to, and Flynn is one of them. And flynn is out there on the ragged edge.
Flynn seems like a great example (along with Trump, and so many others, I suppose) of just how far ambition can get a HIGHLY flawed individual. I have little doubt that he's an intelligent and driven individual. But my god, the Army promoted him to 3 stars as an intelligence officer, and DoD put him in charge of the freakin' Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA, as a 3-star). Hard for me to believe that he didn't SHOW some of his deep flaws in the course of his long career leading up to such lofty heights. And yet.....
