Spot on. Adams seems to have a need to be the smartest guy in the room, and he persuaded himself of being a master predictor. He sees everything that Trump does as some sort of genius; when I usually see a gaffe. He’s become so fixated on being right about this (probably loss-aversion due to losing his income) that he can’t see the forest for the trees. That is; he can’t see an obviously gaffe prone candidate was able to execute a coup in a dying party.

Most anyone could see the Khan family as a trap laid for Trump to bite. And he did. “Team Clinton” doesn’t need a Godzilla to take down Trump. He does this all on his own. All he needed to do to win was keep his mouth shut. Maybe he is a master persuader, but sure looks like a man attempting to lose on purpose.
