POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

Watch how the press reacts to Trump's guaranteed effort to claim he brought down ISIS. They're not gone, but they have been beaten down and chased from many of the cities they occupied, and Russians have had a lot to do with that. Trump and the GOP will take credit for every success that has occurred in the last two years, yet if things go poorly going forward their hands are clean. So their mindless domestic immigration and foreign policies will anger Muslims everywhere and grow the jihadists's cause, but they are in position to make political hay.
 
Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack

I posted the story of the Ali's the day it happened...it still boggles my mind. But I am sure Obama once said something somewhere which totally equals what is being done in Trump's name...

The Left needs to keep going after everything this dumpster fire of an administration does. You want the people to flip sides you hammer at everything until the people change their minds. The Trumpers never will but you dont need them...dont let up on travel bans and corrupt members of the Administration. Paint them all as part of the same brush, Russian Red and racist as sin. From now until 2020 that is your job.

That seems to be the conventional thinking, but FWIW, I'm not convinced it's a winning strategy for Dems in 4 years. It seems to me Republicans are in power not because of their obstructionist activities but rather, in spite of them. It just so happened that the Outsider ran as an R and by and large, they were able to latch on to him late in the game despite their previous opposition. Swing voters didn't so much support R's in my mind, but more opposed the get nothing done status quo. It's perhaps unfair to Dems now, but it's hard to see how all out political warfare will win the hearts and minds of the swing votes when that very thing was a factor in motivating the swing vote to the outsider in the first place.

Agree
tD is not R, he is tD.

Still, Dems can run against that and win seats.
