Rick Davis on Why Trump’s Attacking Fellow GOPers: ‘In His Mind, That’s the Campaign Plan’

‘Whether that’s a broad enough appeal to be able to win national election—I think it has got a lot of people scratching their heads’

DAVIS: “Well, the reality I think, and it’s hard to tell from the outside looking in, but I think in his mind, that’s on message. I mean, he is going after all the establishment, whether the establishment is a Republican in Washington or in a state or Democrat in -- in anywhere else around the country. So, when he goes on a tirade and attacks both Republicans and Democrats at the same time, his base, the people who helped him become the nominee of the party are high fiving. And they love that. It’s red meat. It's manna from heaven for them. And so, I think in his mind that’s the campaign plan. Now, whether that’s broad enough appeal to be able to win a national election I think has got people scratching their heads.”
