Is there anyone who is not a Trump sycophant and totally in a deep state of incredible denial not seeing this?

"The story that I have told seems to present this presidency in such a way that it says he can’t do his job," Wolff said.

"Suddenly everywhere people are going 'oh my God, it’s true, he has no clothes'. That's the background to the perception and the understanding that will finally end ... this presidency."

And, for those sycophants...here's your boi.

"Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book," Trump said. "He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!"

The fact that a "five year old" has defeated the demorat's POTUS candidate should be a wake up call.

Too bad the message seems to be have been completely missed by them.

I sense that they feel they don't feel they have to do anything because Trump will defeat himself... which worked so well the last time.

The fact that Trump reads like a parody should give people who voted for him concern. I mean, no one can be that stupid. Right?

Yep, the (brilliant?) strategy of calling folks that did not vote for Hillary last time deplorable, uneducated, misogynist, racist bigots just might not work to win them over next time. We will see how it goes in 2018 and 2020.

Name calling was working beautifully for Trump, so... why not? :2razz:

We aren't trying to win over Deplorables. There are more than enough normal people to override their Deplorable vote.

You are aware of the fact that many more people voted against Trump than did for him? Many more. Many.

Hillary didn't have the personality... some might say the cult of personality... to pull it off.

It is all in who you single out for your name calling that matters. Denigrating a few key players which you consider opposition is not the same as denigrating large swaths of potential voters. Trump also had a fairly simple list of positive talking points - goals which were easily confused with having a policy agenda.

Too much baggage and not enough crowd appeal to overcome it would be my guess. Her inability to pull in the Bernie Bros was another flaw. She should have kissed some Bernie ass and made sure she had that base in her pocket.

Of course, however, the idiots who thought Hillary was no better than Trump sure did come to a rude awakening. I image.

Agreed. And, for the most part, Trump went after "others"*. Hillary went after other Americans. That violated the ,"He's an asshole, but he's our asshole." mindset.

*-Not exclusively, but for the most part.

The problem is that winning a few solid blue states by a large margin nets you exactly zero extra electoral college votes. The "five year old" either figured that out or at least listened to someone else that did.

In some ways she tried to. Student loan reform, for example. That was nowhere on her agenda until it proved popular from Bernie. Then she tried to adopt it as well, but it never came off as sincere. You always got the feeling that if she had been elected, she'd have dropped that issue like a hot potato.

Ah, stupidly and desperately deflecting to Hillary.

Too bad the message in the OP seems to have been completely missed by you. I sense that you feel that you don't have to do anything because Hillary will always be a dead horse to wail on .... which is working so well right now.

The "wake up call" is how misinformed right wingers are thanks to the conservative entertainment complex. They're so untethered from reality, they continue to make excuses for steps toward unconstitutional authoritarianism.

Since the book claims President Trump said the KKK isn't so bad because "who knows what they believe," while somehow being too prejudiced and hateful to apply this logic to democrats/liberals, the irony speaks for itself. Hillary was condemning racists and xenophobes, rather than 100% of Trump supporters.

It's not hard to convince a bunch of losers who blame liberals, Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims for all their problems that liberals, Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims are the root of all their problems. Most of us know that is bull****, however.

THe bold interferes in their narrative. Hence, it will be ignored.

The fact that you lump me in with right-wingers disqualifies your thin-skinned premise before it even starts. And we've interacted enough directly that you should know better.

Side point: Don't make the glaring mistake that a point regarding one side of the political aisle automatically means the other side is without flaw. It's just a point regarding one side, nothing more, nothing less. One should not have to add a disclaimer regarding every possible nuance and angle in every single post.

Hmm... what's next Trump announcing that he has a pen and a phone while desiring to fundamentally transform America?

Hillary, like Romney, made the major and unforced error of blaming anything on the American people - blame policy, blame politicians (party or past/present not important), blame the press, blame foreigners (illegally inside of the country or outside of the country) but never blame large swaths of your potential voters.

I didn't associate you. Your deflection to Hillary was its own association, and that is precisely what i attacked. I'm not forcing you to make ANY associations.
