re: #227 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I thought that they would turn on him at some point in the 2016 campaign.

I see less likelihood of that happening now, not more.

Clinton’s most critical mistake - worse than not campaigning in WI/MI/PA in the closing days - was not taking Trump seriously as a candidate. She, and a lot of people can be forgiven for that in one sense because….well look at him. He’s ridiculous for God’s sake. It seemed like we were watching the GOP commit Hari Kiri. What she, and a lot of people didn’t realize was that there was such a clamor for an outsider - and the right wing noise machine made it seem like Hillary would actually be a worse choice than Trump - that enough people in those three states (because those were the ones the put him over the top) reluctantly gave him a chance. 2020’s nominee has to take Trump and his record seriously, and detail how disastrous it has been and will continue to be if he is re-elected, while also emphasizing many of the horrors - Puerto Rico, child separation, this moronic trade war with China, and God forbid 1000 times any military action taken against Iran (to name just three).

And of course, while doing all of that, show that the emperor Fox “News” and right wing talk show hosts and podcasters really has no clothes, and that the GOPers who have supported him really have no principles whatsoever and are craven and corrupt, and that Trumpism is anything but an aberation (I love Joe Biden for so many reasons, but COME ON MAN!! REALLY?).

It’s simple really.

So easy, a caveman could do it.
