Heilemann: This Is a ‘Moment’ Trump Is ‘Displaying Strategic and Tactical Deftness’
‘How he managed to make this turn, if he ends up being the Republican nominee, we’ll look at this as the moment where he displayed the most political of any of the campaign’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HEILEMANN: "This has been a smart thing. This has been kind of the, like, okay, I’m in trouble, I have New York coming up, let’s see what’s going on out here and how I can jiu-jitsu something that’s essentially a negative for me, which is to say I’m losing delegates in all these states and turn it into a message, as Nicole said, that he’s been more consistently on and that is more obviously on brand than anything else he’s done. It’s just the sophistication of this. He’s not been particularly sophisticated throughout this campaign. This is a moment he’s displaying strategic and technical deftness."
