If Trump is willing to pretend to be someone else, he's willing to ok Lee Atwater type tactics. Personally I think he is using October surprise tactics and obviscation right now. Sending up trial baloons, straw men and using scorched earth is the trait of an insecure narcissistic psychopath. And he is definitely one.
