> Adams has studied all the tricks of how to manipulate people There is more than "tricks" to effective communication. THIS is Milton Erickson's insight, and this was what my comment was about. 'Tricks' were all Hillary Clinton had in her linguistic arsenal (ex: calling Trump 'dark'). You ignored my whole comment, and just compared El Presidente to a 'pick up artist'. (The premise of that field is the lesson I had to give to one of my female passengers one night, about the 'difference between boys & girls': http://www.taxiwars.org/2016/02/the-difference-between-boys-girls.html http://www.taxiwars.org/2016/02/the-difference-between-boys-... - women get to take their pick of potential suitors, whereas men have to market themselves effectively. Sometimes men resort to using linguistic 'tricks' to get women into bed. Women would be well-served by being able to recognize the language patterns that are sometimes used...) "If the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result, then that's exactly what Clinton was doing in this campaign. There was zero evidence from the Republican primary that a traditional campaign would work against Trump. But she ran one anyway. Why?" - https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/09/06/politics/hillary-clinton-memoir/index.html https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/09/06/politics/hillary-clinton-... Your New Republic article is from 2015, which was before El Presidente steam-rolled the republican primary field. Do you have anything newer?
