You reminded me that I have a half-baked idea about who Donald targets that involved CNN and Jeb(!).

Considering Jeb and CNN are similar in that they're pretty establishment and milquetoast, Donald coming in as belligerent and "anti-establishment" makes him precisely the hardest type of person for Jeb and CNN to deal with. When Donald first goes after them, they go out of their comfort zone by directly reacting to him...but fighting dirty is Donald's home turf, so they get outmatched there too because Donald just isn't interested in their realm of respect or rationale.

Their names also both have a long political history, which is very easy for a person without political history to pick on. Look how easily he cited the Iraq War against them both, even though he was recorded as being okay with it too once upon a time. Donald got excused in a big way compared to them. Was Jeb even a part of the Iraq War conversation besides being Dubya's brother and possibly helping him get elected in 2000? CNN wasn't the only one pushing for the Iraq War, but again they're establishment and milquetoast so they're a better target than other news stations.

(these are reasons I wish Bernie would have faced Donald instead of Hillary, but I accept there are differences of opinion here)

Again, half-baked idea, just thinking aloud to see if there are deeper thoughts here.

oh no that's absolutely what he does. that's by design, it's how bully tactics work and he's very good at it. it's why little marco stuck and why he could chase the guy so much, ditto Cruz. i mean c'mon, Trump literally connected Cruz's father to JFK's assassination. but if he were to go after Christie? he'd end up looking weak simply by virtue of being unable to run through the guy. i mean if he were going after bernie he'd probably play with some key words and put downs.

"look at this guy, just look at him. hear him yap on and on an-- you know, I just see him and think 'wow, there he is, socialist sanders. wanting to take your freedom away, weak-willed socialist sanders. well you know what? the only sanders i respect is the colonel!"

(i'd also have him bust out a bucket of KFC at that point but that's wishful thinking.)


the main counter to that though is bernie would probably accept the insult and spin it into a positive. i think he could've succeeded with that on most put downs too, as opposed to hillary. his ideas were worn on his sleeve so it's a lot harder to bully guy who goes "yeah, and what of it?"

I'm not. Unless it becomes so unpopular the Dems can get a two thirds majority in both houses (which based solely on the Senate map is not going to happen), if this trash fire becomes law the soonest it can possibly be repealed is 2021. Even if the worst effects don't hit until 2019 that's still two years of widespread suffering caused solely by Republican dick waving.

This bill is garbage and it needs to die here and now.

Rather than "Not going to happen because of the map", it's actually literally impossible for Dems to get 2/3 in the senate on it, short of a bunch of seats being vacated for some reason and thus going up anyway. Even if every seat flipped, that's still only 8 seats, so 56.

I just had a dream that I saved Obamacare.

I was in DC somewhere, and for some reason a Republican Senator was trying to kill me. I knocked his gun away but then he drew a knife and continued to come after me. I retrieved the gun and managed to shoot him, although he was quite large and kept coming until I emptied the clip. And it turned out that he was from a state with a Democratic governor who was able to appoint a Democrat to replace him, which gave Democrats the majority.

Is that the most 2017 dream or what

It wasn't a real Senator but let's go with Thom Tillis.

Also when he pulled out the knife he stabbed Elizabeth Warren, but she survived.

Obama delegitimized Donald by embarrassing him with the longform birth certificate...then America saw Obama rub Donald's nose in it at the Correspondence Dinner, saw Donald not donate the money he said he would if Obama revealed the certificate, and saw Donald question Obama's school records afterward in a pathetic plea for continued attention. This was happening at the same time Osama Bin Laden was killed.

http://www.makeuptalk.com/f/gateway_redirect.php?act=img&id=630066

Donald was flattened in a big way after he was talking about running for President in early 2011 -- notice soon-after he stepped back after this went down because he was reduced to a foolish joke.

Sure, Donald starting that movement back then helped him in 2016 after people somehow forgave his dumbfuckery, but that ain't on Obama -- he stopped Donald from running a term sooner.

Low-education voters legitimized Donald, not Obama.
