Trump creating separation between himself and rest of field

That last bit of controversy in the Trump campaign may be a killer move for his candidacy.  It may kill his chances or kill anybody else's chances against him.

I'd like to make a football metaphor here to illustrate the point I'm making.  Trump is out there alone on this one.  He is away from the pack and in some cases, this can be good.  In football, you want to "separate" from the defenders so you can make plays.  Such plays can be the difference in the outcome of the game.

Like football, politics is a game.  The object is to win.  Trump is out to win and this latest move may do it for him because he gets separation from the field.  As an example, take this football game between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills.  It was late in the game, and a receiver got WIDE OPEN on the play.  It was a simple pitch and catch for the game winning touchdown.  Lights out, game over.

That's what may be what Trump just did.
