I think a lot of people, including "elite media," have convinced themselves if you do anything against him, it will be to Trump's benefit somehow. He's a counter-puncher! This has led to a learned helplessness when it comes to Trump and his followers.
All I want is for someone of national import to haul off and (rhetorically) slug Trump directly in the face. I don't think anybody knows what would happen, but I'm sure he'd crumple.
That's why the Colin Cowherd thing is so amazing and from such an unexpected source.
This is simply because he DOES things.

By which I mean, he TALKS CONSTANTLY. In his endless blather, you could cherry-pick and make it sound like he has an active strategy, when it's really just ramblings. But "media analysts" need to analyze.
And the Democrats fucking do NOTHING.
