80. This situation perfectly illustrates Trump's Achilles heel . . .

Trump is a classic narcissist and he can't not respond to attacks on his "points of pride" - even when the attacks are anonymous like this one. This is how to get him "off message" (is he ever really "on message"?!?) and to show how shallow and weak he really is (although I agree that "slut shaming" his wife is unacceptable even by the standards being set by this year's Republican race). We need something like a "Truth about Trump" super-PAC that simply keeps attacking the things he is most proud of to keep him lashing out randomly.
