Even Scott Adams agrees with me...

Trump tweet a strategic political chess move that Democrats and the media don't understand because they are stuck playing political checkers. 


Now this is actually a slightly more advanced argument than I had previously suggested. It's not just that Trump put the focus on Ocasio-Cortez and her "squad" of politically toxic, horribly unpopular, social warriors and promises to keep them in the news with what will most likely be an ongoing feud. It also created a situation where prominent Democrats (and their idiot minions in the media) would be forced to defend them.

While most strategists were under the conventional wisdom that the ongoing tension between the AOC Justice warrior Squad and the more moderate Party leadership was a political problem for the Democrats, apparently Donald Trump thought differently. It's probably a more correct read that Pelosi and many other moderates truly wanted to distance themselves from the feeble freshman four, and that the realization that they had to step up and defend them was not a choice they made without apprehension.

But now Trump can point to Pelosi and others "defending" Omar, Tlaib, Pressley, and Ocasio-Cortez and by proxy elevating the status of the most unpopular members of the Democratic ranks. Keep in mind, Omar's approval rating is 9%, which is slightly lower than root canals (13%) and enemas (16%).

What is the downside? That Democrats and the media bark at the moon with their 76,543rd accusation that the President is a racist? Here is a hint for everyone. A tweet will not change anyone's mind about the issue. Period.

Those who have not already convinced themselves that he is a racist will not become convinced that he is prior to November of 2020.  Likewise, no matter how "well" he acts over the next few months, nobody who currently believes he is a racist is going to rescind that viewpoint. Whatever "racism" or "bigotry" you believe the President has (or doesn't have) running through his bones, the entire issue is already baked into the 2020 election. Continuing to bring it up is akin to beating a dead horse and likely hurts more than than helps at this point.

The hard reality for liberals here is that they just got played. They can accept that they got played and move on, or they can continue to play the President's game by the President's rules and continue to dig themselves a bigger hole. By all means, continue to defend that poor helpless "squad" from the big bad orange man.

Making America weaker today....

White identity politics drives Trump, and the GOP under him

The president’s attacks made clear that his reelection campaign will feature the same mix of white grievance and anti-immigrant nativism that helped him win in 2016.

Yep....going back to the days of slaves and plantations again......MAWA!!!!!!!!

Hey Trump now has Congress actually ready to act on an actual rebuke of his statement...Which will go over really well considering how they let Omar off the hook when they decided to rebuke her (but ended up rebuking everyone but her).


This is "exactly" what he wanted. Attention on the "squad". He wants the Democrats to tie them self to defending the undefendable, while continuing the strategy of calling him a "racist" when it didn't work in 2016 and certainly will not work in 2020.

Dr Lena Wen's term as Planned Parenthood FA president was aborted today in a secret board meeting.

According to sources Dr Wen didn't feel any pain.

Now this is ironic since the only presidents the media and Hollywood ever treated as royalty was John F. Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama. (Come to think of it Hussein is Arabic for king or prince).

And as we saw with Kennedy, his private behavior rivaled that of Harvey Weinstein.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/whats-your-ethnicity-kellyanne-conway-scolds-reporter-who-challenged-trumps-go-back-tweet-172859847.html

Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday lashed out at reporters who pressed her on President Trump’s tweets saying four Democratic congresswomen of color should “go back” to their home countries.

On Sunday, Trump stirred outrage on Twitter when he suggested that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts should “go back” to their “broken and crime infested” countries. All of the women are U.S. citizens, and three of the four were born in the United States.

Conway, counselor to the president, claimed Trump was not suggesting the women return to their home countries.

She was then asked by Andrew Feinberg, a reporter for the website Beltway Breakfast, what countries Trump was referring to in his tweet.

“What’s your ethnicity?” Conway asked in response.

“Why is that relevant?” Feinberg replied. “My own ethnicity is not relevant.”

“No, no, it is,” Conway shot back. “Because he said ‘originally.’”

In truth, Trump never made that distinction.

Feinberg pressed Conway, who continued to deflect on behalf of her boss.

“He’s tired,” Conway said. “A lot of us are sick and tired of this country, of America coming last to people who swore an oath of office.

“... Tired of being criticized,” she continued, “being doxxed by a bunch of Hollywood D-listers who have nothing else to do but sit on their asses on Twitter all day.”

@realDonaldTrump

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

Correct.

Roger sure has fallen, he used to brag of a good wife, a nice house, 6 figure I come. Now he is suicidal and unable to meet financial obligations is 11 days from a forced eviction by the County Sheriff's .

C.H. Truth said...

Roger's demise (if true) is not anything to celebrate and it doesn't prove anything other than California is a fairly heartless place to live if you are a white citizen who runs into financial trouble. If he was an illegal immigrant who illegally crossed the border, he'd likely have things handed to him. But that's California (and if Democrats have their way) it will be all of America.

Bottom line is that many many people are one or two bad breaks from being on the skids. I don't wish it on Roger or anyone else. Especially at his age.

He needs professional help, hope he get it, unfortunately a good portion of mental health professional are also infected with TDS.
