Well as a guy that grew up a European Liberal I can’t say I feel bad for Romney or about the American GOP eating itself. Let em have at it.
Last Friday I was at a wine tasting thing with a bunch of phony baloney “upscale” GOP’ers . I’ll talk to them as long as they keep the FOX / B’Bart bullshit out of the conversation and they know that. One said something that stuck in my mind. He said he was concerned that Trump was causing the word Conservative to lose it’s association with patriotism, strength and piety. I told him about half the country never made those associations with the word but he’s probably right about the other half. It looks like after 50 years of successfully demonizing the word Liberal they’ve shot themselves in the foot by believing the bullshit they spewed to do it.
I saw that on her show. She sort of slipped it in…she was more interested in Mitt. And I thought that the way she rolled Mitt out was tactical.
To me, this kind of thing is “scary” only on several conditions, most of which involve what we do.
For example: Why is there only a 50% favorability of Trump’s removal? It should be in the 60s at least. That is us…and I know all the explanations for why it is so low.
But a population can’t be scary-scared and at 50% removal at the same time.
The Dems must understand that the only thing that will overcome Trump is to out-Trump him. Attack, attack, attack. But in a mature, responsible way. Hold more House hearings, bring in Bolton (even if it helps him sell books), subpoena others.
The other thing is to attack Trump’s and the Republicans’ concerted effort to take away healthcare from millions and replace it with… nothing. Run the damn ads.
And, finally, assail Trump’s true character, and show the short clip of him mocking, absolutely mocking a disabled person, below. Most of Trump’s most ardent supporters look away when this comes up. It eats the psyche to be reminded about this, and it’s the psyche that counts here, not reason:
