I agree with the sentiment, but that tees up Trump to reply with something that normalizes getting banned from places. You know, the sorts of consequences for the actions of "fine people" everywhere.

If your opponent isn't rational, and their base much less so, appealing to general reason is probably not going to work. Better to go on the attack and out specific weird behavior as, well, weird and not a part of the overall group (voters) dynamic. The key is to signal that there's something wrong with this kind of behavior with your time on the mic, rather than hope that your opponent will just screw up their rebuttal.
