The fact that democrats are using the word “salience” is likely demonstrative of why they don’t win.

Weird that he’s been continuously starting off by saying that Gavin is a “nice guy”. He never says anyone is nice.

Too many people are focusing on November 2028 and ignoring January 2027. In 18 months, the primary season will officially begin. Democrats will start announcing their candidacy for President. What will the GOP do?

The fact that you tried to make that argument is likely a microcosm of why dems lost in the first place. Centrist/right leaning folks don’t hate street protest. They hate street protests wrt causes they disagree with.

The problem is that people like Dana Bash won’t, in fact, follow up 6 months after the law passes. So, there’s never accountability because the media has the attention span of a mouse.

She could have very easily distanced herself from Biden and created her own identity. She chose not to. The “she only had 100 days” argument is ludicrous. She was the VP of the oldest pres ever. If she never thought of what she would do differently during the first 3.5 years, that’s on her.

Incorrect. It shows you can elect a President. If anyone thinks that Musk won’t be trying to influence house races in 2026, you’re fooling yourself. It just won’t be as public.

No worries. The democratic candidate in 2028 will still be labeled a socialist because he suggests a cap on credit card fees, without irony.

His “magic sauce” is his ability to never allow for finality. He’ll always be in the process of making a deal, having a negotiation.

Why can’t these reporters follow up? “Wait, wait, all economists aren’t saying that the economy is better today than it was under Biden.”

When these people start their answers with “Look” or “Listen”, you should neither look or listen.

..says the person who ruled that the law doesn’t apply to Presidents without considering the implication of such a ruling.

The fact that the democrats haven’t been saying on a daily basis that “Trump raised taxes on every American by 10%” is political malpractice.

Because the media doesn’t ask about it. There’s no preparation.

What makes the SALT group so powerful is that none have a threat of being primaried, so Trump can’t pressure them. A primary in any district means a guaranteed dem win in 2026.

It’s worse. “If we buy something from us that we hired you to make, you’re screwing us.”

In addition, during interviews, the media really needs to push back when GOP talks about China “buying and selling.” When I purchase an iPhone in Topeka, the nation of China isn’t selling or buying anything.

A “So if I choose to buy a $300 computer monitor that was made in China by an American company, am I somehow worse off than if I bought a $2,000 computer monitor made in the US by a Chinese company?” follow-up would be greatly appreciated.

Which is why a “I support the Second Amendment AND the First Amendment” platform would help every rural Democrat candidate.

When he ultimately caves: “Listen, everyone can’t get everything they want. I read the bill and while I don’t agree with everything, when it came down to it, voting “no” and increasing taxes on Americans — which is what all the Democrats just voted for — would have been too catastrophic.”

Main reason Trump doesn’t want to bring Kilmar back: if they try to deport him again if he’s on US soil, I think his “I fear for my life since I was just thrown in a gulag” defense would certainly result in another “withholding a removal” decision.

Can there be one f-ing “but Americans are paying those tariffs, right?” follow-up?

Indignation doesn’t work. Dems have been trying it for 10 years. Mockery — which they refuse to try — will work wonders.

Here’s how to get him out: mock the president. Say “President Trump is weak—he can’t even get someone out of El Salvador.” “El Salvador is laughing at Trump.” “If Trump can’t get one man out of El Salvador, he can’t get anyone released.”

Of course they’ll be able to spin it. They will focus on on factory that’s already been in the works and Trump will say “factories are being built like never before” and the media will not properly push back with facts.

Do you really think Kid Rock has that much influence over Donald Trump? While he might have suggested the meeting, Trump agreed to it.

Wasn’t Maher even a bit curious as to why he — and not Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, Springsteen, Clooney, Maddow etc. etc. — was invited to spend 2.5 hours with the President of the United States? If he really wanted to speak to the “other side”, invite others too, no?

Bill Maher doesn’t realize that he was played. So the person who’s been entertaining celebrities for half a century was going to be mean to him in private?
comment in response to
post
The fact that Bill Maher doesn’t understand that he was played shows how little he knows about Trump.

Dems platform going forward should be: teach civics in school, promote kindness and honor, help your neighbor and increase training for trade jobs.

The fact that is been so haphazard is why no one would care whether it was “papered” or not. Please re-read the original post.

It will change it a week’s time. Ok, it’s written down today. How does that help the wheat farmer who planning on selling his goods in 3 weeks from now?

This argument MAY make sense IF there was a tariff program specifically designed to solely protect the us car industry. They did no such thing here however.

Ackman should be ignored. His political positions are made in real time on Twitter.

Why doesn’t anyone ask: “If we had stupid leadership in the past, why did you allow this to happen for 4 years?”

Dems can now run on a “we will lower your tariffs” platform.

It’s definitely what they’ll do.

Don Jr as President as Trump as VP. Don Jr. will effectively cede power to his father.

Don Jr. runs as President and he runs as VP. It’s what’s going to happen.

So you would agree that Musk should also shut down the interstate highway system, right? Since the roads are a cost and not a “revenue”.

And I assume MSNBC will therefore do some in depth reporting on the issue, interview seniors, visit ss offices in Alabama, etc.? Or just pontificate the potential ramifications in the studio?

The word “hypocrisy” should be removed from the dictionary. It has no meaning.

This is the “free speech” guy, right?

Dems should be — on a daily basis — talking about how Trump is a “big government republican”. He hates states rights and loves big government. Every single day.
comment in response to

Which is why Dems have to just call this “Signalgate” right now.

That answer will be used as a precursor to support the insane position that the 22nd amendment — which wasn’t in place when George Washington was president — actually gives Trump the right to a third term.
