I have a pretty good recollection of every Presidential election from 1968 forward. I have never seen anyone else who comes close to President Trump’s ability to end a political opponent’s Presidential aspirations the way he does. And, he does it with a touch of humor.
The simple act giving them a nickname or making an observation about them that communicates their weaknesses more than hours of debate can. It’s analogous to the old “don’t think of a elephant” trick, once he gives them a nickname neither they or the voters seem able to overcome it.
