I presume we are going to hear "Hitler", "dictator", and abortion until the election. I don't see that it matters much as far as the left goes, what he said or what he meant, because they have been using "Hitler" for years when referring to Trump and his supporters. How is it we always hear how the democrats are "wetting their pants" because of bad polling, yet they always seem to win? Could it be that they really aren't wetting their pants and aren't really worried about the polls at all? Kids and electronics. The only thing astonishing about this is that some people seem astonished. Anyone with kids, grand kids, or in my case, great grand kids should stop and take a look at those kids anytime there is a phone, TV, or computer in front of them. I find it truly horrifying. My great grands, all five and under, literally go into a stupor in front of a screen. Slack jawed, dull eyed, unresponsive until the device is turned off or someone gets really loud to get their attention. No electronic should be in the hands of kids before they are at least in their teens. And that includes in school. Every single person I have met who used computers for lessons in school is measurably dumber than people I have known who only attended school to the eighth grade. But this is 100% within the control of parents.
The Politico piece was insightful--iand biased towards the Left. Yet the most distressing aspect is that Trump and his team have not considered checking a thesaurus for words which have the same meaning but untainted by the likes of a Hitler or Mussolini. Does Trump actually desire to win? Does he truly "love this country" as is the MAGA response to those who are critical of him? Is he going to govern (if he wins) and establish defensible policies or is he going to waste 4 years of my life attempting to wage war against those he deems to be his enemies? Oh, and might I point out that he seems to have greater vitriol against those with an "R" behind their names than those with a "D."
I suspect he uses loaded terms very deliberately because he knows his “base” just loves sticking it to the media scolds. Going back to “America First” in the 2016 election, knowing full well Lindbergh had used it to oppose helping against the Germans.
Bill, I agree that the word choice is deliberate - and kinda brilliant. 70-75% of the population can relate/understand the overall message of “poisoning the blood” and by choosing the words he uses, he is insured to have that message spread by MSM (like it’s a bad thing). I mean, he could buy the advertising but why waste the money? Dictator? MSM tried to make hay out of that by “not getting the joke” - which most readers “got”.
Trump’s playing chess while the MSM is trying to figure out what the horsey looking things are on the checker board.
I'm unsure of his motives. "Unsure" doesn't mean I am critically doubtful, just that I do not truly know what his motives are. Years ago I had to decide whether I wanted to always "win" or to be effective. Winning often entails throwing the proverbial red meat to your supporters. Effectiveness is better judged on the long-lasting effectives of words or policies. While I am certainly human enough to like both "goading" and giving in to the crowd, effectiveness is to always be desired when dealing with large groups of people or the public. Thanks Bill!

The VP needs to stay in her cage at the White House. She can do less harm there than out in public.

Cheering your 12:35 monologue about how wrong it is to fight the bad of our opponents with a form of opposite bad instead of good.
Soooo ... will the ahistorical and youthful Gaza fan club be the proximate cause of Trump's reelection?
Hey, she’s cleaned up the boarder issue so I guess she’s ready for the next challenge...
