Trump v Baier: Did he have anything to lose?

Although Baier made the interview mostly about law, for Trump I think it was mostly about politics. I believe his purpose was to outtalk the Fox News host, not to outlawyer, or even outreason, him.

From the point of view of a Trump supporter (if I’m able to discern that point of view), I think Trump succeeded. He was aggressive. He took shots at a range of folks Trump’s backers consider villains (including a few shots at Fox News), and he had an answer for everything.

In short, he gave his supporters reason to believe he can still be their effective champion.

That’s Job 1 for Trump.

[Read it all, and Paul kindly links to my post from last night. He makes some good points, and we’ll certainly see whether Trump lost anything in yesterday’s interview at some point. — Ed]
