Good response. Now move on and don’t get caught in a back-and-forth with him or any Republican.

Yeah, I think this is important. Don’t go wrestling the pig in the mud. He likes it there. Just acknowledge that the muddy pig lacks the credibility to ever question whether you might have a little scuff on your pant cuff, and keep walking.

I’m not sure Trump has thought this through. Okay…I’m actually certain Trump hasn’t thought this through.

Considering the skeletons overflowing his own closet, this overly aggressive attack on Omar could easily boomerang when the media does its inevitable “both sides” thing.

“…, where she appeared to perpetuate an anti-Semitic trope when she suggested that Republicans’ support for Israel was fueled by political donations.”

And by “trope” they mean “observable fact”. Have people lost their frigging minds? The Israeli lobbying group is incredibly corrupting, and yes, to both sides! I don’t think what she said was anti-Semitic at all! All lobbying is about filthy lucre, and it’s time people demand AIPAC stop designing US Foreign Policy!

“…and, he um, literally praised people marching with neo-Nazis.”

I think we should all get used to the fact those having Nazi or fascist associations, or espousing those beliefs, are becoming mainstream. I am not saying we need to accept it, be happy or sanguine about it, or that we should in any way consider it anything but deplorable and abhorrent. But those qualities in people are becoming an ever increasing segment in society, and as their numbers grow so, inevitably, will society's willingness to view them farther down the scale of moral and ethical depravity than they merit.

I wondered how people should handle this and her approach seems about right—a short, sharp, contemptuous dismissal that makes it clear he’s a posturing hypocrite with no standing to criticize anyone. And then that’s it, no jawing back and forth like school kids.
