Because the idea is to generate enough fear that the masses are pliable, but not so much that the masses get panicked. Once they tip into panic the masses become uncontrollable. Active searches for supposed bombs will tip the masses into panic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an elected government you don't want to be seen as Machiavellian, it will allow the other side to get elected. Like I said, it is a fine line between fear and panic.

Once you hear "this time he's REALLY gone too far; he can't win" enough you tend to start taking such claims less seriously from everyone. >If the first moronic thing he said helped him then the other things will as well in >my mind. The thing is, it helps him with that small percentage of voters. Except in this case the "small percentage of voters" are GOP likely voters - which are the people who will decide his candidacy. >He has no chance and I'd bet $100 on that. What the heck. I'll take that bet. If he gets the nomination you contribute $100 to the charity of my choice; if he loses it I will do the same for you. If he runs as an independent then bet is off. (That way if I lose it, will be for a good reason.) You are on Bill. Sorry, been busy and away from DZ.com.

Except in this case the "small percentage of voters" are GOP likely voters - which are the people who will decide his candidacy. We do not know that since 95% of the polls are of registered voters and not likely voters. The group supporting him are left, right & center that also happen to be poorly educated. Getting them to vote takes a huge ground game and Trump doesn't really have that. Getting them to caucus is even tougher since it is not just showing up and plling a lever.
