I mean, we're talking about the 10-15% of the electorate that hasn't made up their mind yet. And we're talking about a more than 8:1 fundraising disparity, based on latest figures. The democrats can afford to take every tack. Especially when you consider that the Trump campaign's approach seems to be "get in the news as much as possible" and they're currently succeeding admirably.

It remains to be seen if the wind has shifted from "look at this outrageous thing that maverick Trump said" to "look at this outrageous thing that jackass Trump said" but the maverick/jackass balance has been tipped, at least temporarily.
