Can't throw good money away like that...

Paul objected, pointing to the country's growing debt and arguing that any new spending should be offset by cuts to other spending.

Trump wants omar/cortez/pressley/tlaib to be the face of feminism and the liberal agenda and that's why he attacked them like this. He has the media in the palm of his hand. He says something over the top that gets everyone's attention, then ties these people and their brown and female faces to whatever he wants his followers to hate. He's got them well conditioned at this point. He rings the bell and they salivate.

Might be hard when none of them seem to be on track to be the Democratic nominee for president

So the crowd at his rally chanted "Send Her Back" when Trump went off on Rep Omar. This guys is a fucking symptom; people yelled about the bad politics of the "basket of deplorables" but Hillary may have understated how many belong in the basket.

Nope, which is why we need to coalesce behind whoever the Dem nominee ends up being and vote this demon out next November.

If voting him out of office isn't enough motivation to draw record turnout by all voters not aligned with Trump's base then I guess we deserve another four years of daily fresh hell.

His base is already voting for him. His base isn't enough to win.

We saw in 2018 when Trump turned CARAVAN up to 11 at the end, the GOP got its shit pushed in both nationally, and in many places where Trump will need to win to get re-elected. He's the incumbent president in a time of economic growth and very limited foreign conflict. He should be cruising to re-election. He is very much not. And the people he will need to win in Chester and Bucks county and suburban Milwaukee and the I-4 corridor and whatnot are going to be people who think he's a boorish asshole, but also don't want to vote for a Democrat (especially if that Democrat wants to really upset the apple cart). And every time he pulls shit like this, it makes it harder for him to win these voters.

(And this isn't necessarily directed at you, Mr.06. I know you have been one of the more positive posters here about Dem chances in 2020, and agree with many your takes. Just annoyed at seeing people on Twitter and whatnot touting this like it's some BRILLIANT strategy rather than the drooling racist we have as president who has zero impulse control and tweets about whatever he sees on his TV box doing something counterproductive not only to the nation's discourse but also himself.)

Well said and while he is unfortunately the president, he still *checks notes* lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by almost 3 million votes in 2016. He's not brilliant, he's just a racist asshole.

Might be easier than you think. I'm sure he will also attack the nominee, but the nominee won't be chosen for months and these women are the perfect foils for his brand of racism/fearmongering. Strong women of color --- his base can't sleep at night thinking about women like this outnumbering them.

He's an idiot savant. He knows very little about most things, but he does understand marketing and how to control people. I don't think his methods will work again because I think the dem nominee will be better and he's now a known incompetent rather than an unknown (in the political sense) businessman with "success."

That said, he won last time when it looked like he couldn't do it. And he now has an inside opportunity to rig as many things as possible in his favor. As others have said, there is no bottom and he will do ANYTHING. He can and will do some egregious things to try to win and his willingness to use the justice dept as his own personal hammer will make it tough to stop him or hold him accountable for anything he does do. I think that's the reality and I hope democrats are ready for it because it IS coming.

Also, fuck Comey.

Dems need to ignore racism as it’s a battle trump wants.

Seriously. The “ignore the racism” and “3D Chess” takes are bullshit.

Trump won 2016 in part because he was against someone with as high of unfavorable as he had and independents broke his way. He has done nothing to rehabilitate his image.
