Threatening the press, blowing up norms, and lying is the every day job of Republicans in DC.
Trump supporters are the ones who will lose most as Republicans scheme to take away their health care options (by way of Free Market Freedumb!):
He not only lied about Trumpcare to voters during the campaign, he's lying about Trumpcare to constituents now, and he's taking sides in the Trumpcare debate with the Lying Liars in the House.
Trump supporters – love most or lose most, Zap? One makes sense in the past tense, the other in the future.
AARP ran ads for months basically trolling Trump with his own Medicare promises:
But now AARP has seen the handwriting on the wall, abandoned the effort to shame Trump with his own promises, and is urging members to write to our Members of Congress to update and strengthen Social Security and Medicare.
thx, eagle-eye! For the moral and grammatical support.
Two things I ran across yesterday explain a lot about why Republicans are winning and Democrats are losing: http://www.nydailynews.com/…/king-democratic-party-doesn-unpopular-article-1. 2993659
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-political-lexicon-of-a-billionaire -populist/…/4d4c2686-ff86-11e6-8f41-ea6ed597e4ca_story.html
Both are worth your time. And yes, I realize they will just wind our little trolls up.
Cook's links broke for some reason.
Sean King – The Democratic Party seems to have no earthly idea why it is so damn unpopular
The political lexicon of a billionaire populist
Thanks, Pseudo. They worked when I put them up.
If you're a Democrat with a stronger stomach, here's a view of the problem with the party with a finer point on it.
Maddow had an incredible segment last night about the protests against Gardner and how they are working. I hope Pols gets that up ASAP.
bullshit!, which segment was that? I saw most of Maddow yesterday, didn't see anything about Gardner. Linkies please?
I didn't lose an hour this morning. The GOP government stole it from me.
Russian Trolls Played Bernie Voters, per Ryan Grim and Jason Cherkis in the Huffington Post.
We were played. Some of us were not completely played, and saw through it, even pushed back against it, but we were played. It didn't help that the DNC, under Wasserman-Schultz, was so thoroughly corrupted and unethical in their efforts to weight the scales for HRC. The DNC is still embracing the corporate friendly rules that DWS put in place.
Those of us who lived through the 70s and understood how provocateurs and infiltrators worked should have been more aware, should have helped the younger millenials to understand what was happening. The DNC, HRC herself, the Russians, and the established left all created this situation… and we helped.
Mj and a lot like her saw through this. But the fact remains that a lot of bernie bros were dumb enough to believe this crap. Hillary using body doubles?
