That's the usual modern approach to campaigning, and the one Clinton has been taking. Trump is of course too ill-disciplined and unreliable to manage this kind of clever political triangulation; he just seems to make stuff up. May the best liar win!

The beauty of trump is he has no encumbrances. He can literally say whatever he wants with no consequences. When his analysts tell him "this will really get the yokels going" he can just go ahead and say it. He doesn't have to worry about any spinning plates in the background.

But that's all he is. Just words and bluster. Hillary like her or loath her has substance.
