Sarah Huckebee Sanders, President Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary, announced in a video her gubernatorial campaign in Arkansas on Monday morning.
I experienced this constant drumbeat about “socialism” way back in the 2014 congressional campaign of an old friend when I went back to my native ND to help.
It was weird-ugly then, and now I realize is a normalized part of the world outlook of the RWNJs who populate the party of Lincoln. This notion has been baked into their consciousness.
I had to go off on Josh Dawsey, idiot savant from WaPo last night for this tweet about:
NEWS: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former press secretary for President Trump, will announce tomorrow that she’s running for governor of Arkansas. She’s seen as leader in the polls and the president’s preferred candidate in a GOP state. Expect video announcement of her bid. Yeah but I
He then proceeded to call President Joe Biden, simply “Joe Biden” in a follow up tweet.
This SOB should be fired first thing this morning. For either, A) complete and utter incompetence at his job or B) inability to maintain objectivity and instead replacing facts with fantasy. Either reason is more than grounds to let him go IMO, especially in a market where there are plenty of political reporters looking for jobs.
Her only hope is Trump getting back on Facebook. He’s too lazy and self-absorbed to help in person, but if he can post random thoughts from the bathroom he’s all in.
There is no public polling that I am aware of yet. So I translate that to mean he has been fed info from the campaign so he would write a nice little announcement piece for them.
My real bitch with it was him referencing the former president Trump as current, and refusing to call the current President, President Joe Biden.
It means she leads in the polls if you discard the polls in which she does not lead – the same kind of “logic” that her former boss in Washington used to argue how popular he was.
She, via her father’s connections, has deep ties into Arkansas. And she has been working the state since she left the WH. Arkansas is very red these days, so I doubt there is any Democrat with quality name recognition ready to challenge her, and due to the things I said already, I doubt she faces any real challenges in the primary.
Nope
She will have the full force of Faux news behind her
She will get free unlimited time on the Base channel
Never never underestimate the stupidity of Republican voters

Yep. For over 50 years, the entire nation basically beat the idea of “Communism is our evil enemy” into everyone’s head, and republicans spent the majority of that time simultaneously arguing that Democrats are basically Communists too. And Communism is exactly the same thing as Socialism.
Its a foolish argument for Dems to enter into. Instead, just argue the merits of the policy/program you are supporting and don’t even touch the “socialism isn’t communism, and we use socialism all the time in USA”. Because once you go down that path, you’ve already lost.
A pretty signficant problem we had here in FL was trying to deal with the damage caused by Bernie’s adoration of communist regimes like Cuba, Nicaragua, etc. Its not just a demographic issue (its that too down here), it opened the door for the “Dems are socialists!!” screeches that were non stop throughout the state. We never fully recovered from it, and then toss in a few “defund the police” slogans and close races were no longer even in reach.
