Agreed, which is why this is all a balancing act. Attacking the sin and not the sinner has always been tricky. But I do think there is a emotional difference to the voters between hearing “Trump’s actions are wrong” (which a number of Trump voters beginning to believe) and and “You are responsible for Trump’s wrong actions” (which is true, but is going to trigger their defensive support for him).
My base rule is “always to make it as cheap as possible for the opposition to cede the field to you”.
