    You got my meaning, and yes maybe that is what the OC meant.

    I think we’ve got to be a bit careful and keep our powder dry sometimes with trump stuff. Pretty much everything he does is bad and shocking, but if we overreact or exaggerate it makes people less likely to listen when it’s a really bad thing that might actually cur through. I’m pretty sure the reason he has got away with a lot of stuff so far is that people have just tuned out the constant noise.
