Dems will either do nothing and lose, or they'll spend a ton, the GOP will nationalize it into a referendum on Pelosi, and they'll lose.

I glanced over at Daily Kos yesterday and there were a bunch of outrage diaries about Moore but nothing at all talking up his opponent. 2016 all over again.

We'll probably call the final product progressive mico auto-5d printing though, and seed a planet with it to see what the meaning of the universe really is.

Actually, none of that will happen within our lifetimes.

Trump frequently told the truth about how lovely our country is but then lied about both the causes and the solutions to these problems.

it was a much better strategy than insisting that there aren't any problems at all and if you think otherwise then you deserve to suffer

Admitting that they existed was still a better strategy than pure negative campaigning though

in a lot of cases he was more or less right about them

for example, saying that our foreign policy is nuts, or that our immigration system is broken and illegal immigrants do jobs for less pay, or that healthcare is hosed

but then his diagnosis would be something about how Obama's fecklessness makes us look weak so we make bad deals, instead of the fact that we create new generations of terrorists by raining murder from the skies; that illegals are all evil rapists coming here to steal our futures, instead of pointing out that everyone in power wants to keep undocumented immigrants as a permanent underclass and we routinely turn their homelands into military juntas; or he would say Obamacare is bad because Obama, without a peep about the insane underlying premise that if we just throw more money at profiteering middlemen, they'll be nice to us and won't just come back demanding more money next year

Trump TRUTHS:

- The American Dream is DEAD.
- Corporations are abusing the system.
- The Iraq War was a MESS.
- NAFTA and TPP are garbo.

The remaining 90% of his platform was bullshit. But 1/10 truths is pretty good for an American pres. candidate.
