Remember how everyone loved him because he so bold and refreshing and anti-establishment, unlike all those tired old corporatist Democrats who weren't all that different from Republicans?

Robot response among Democrats is to call @realDonaldTrump a divider, but he offered olive branches on several issues in State of the Union. Congress needs to put the people ahead of partisan politics, to work with anyone to help solve real problems. That’s what they’re paid for!

I'm proud to say I never bought this charlatan's bullshit from Day 1.

1. Divider45 offered poison oak branches, not olive. nt

[disillusioned73]

2. Doesn't change the fact that

DWS is a blight on the DNC and had to resign in shame...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. DWS was ratfucked by Russia and Wikileaks.

You are aware that was part of the overall strategy, correct? Create chaos in the party at the time of the convention to kill momentum going forward?

[disillusioned73]

4. When you do dirt & get exposed...

those are the consequences - see the Gov of Virginia.. why did she step down if they were lies?? Oh, you said ratfucked... not sure if that means lies or inconvenient truths.. please define "ratfucked"..

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. DNC emails were hacked and selectively leaked in order to divide Democrats.

That is criminal behavior and that also is ratfucking.

DWS stepped down as chair for the same reason Al Franken stepped down as Senator--there was a manufactured outrage and her presence had become a distraction that drew away from the party.

6. South Florida voters were having none of his act...

2018 Florida Election Results: 23rd House District

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Democrat 161,611 58.5%

Joe Kaufman Republican 99,446 36.0%

Tim Canova Independent 13,697 5.0%

Don Endriss Independent 1,612 0.6%


...bold, refreshing and full of @#$%.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Nope. nt

[Apollyonus]

13. The voters knew the real truth

The purest purity seekers on DU, not so much.

7. Donald Trump offered olive branches?

And, based on his record so far in office, you would trust him to live up to his word and negotiate in good faith? I would strongly disagree with you there, Mr. Canova. If Trump had any interest at all in solving "real problems," wouldn't he have done something during his first two years in office, when he had a far more compliant Congress to work with? What were we paying Paul Ryan for?

8. He literally was always like that

Those of us down here said he was a wingnut who went on wingnut local radio stations and spewed filth. I still have no idea why Sanders endorsed him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. First time I ever heard him I was flipping through and came across him on the Joyce Kaufman show.

Joyce Kaufman is a lunatic who was almost the chief of staff to Allen West's brief House tenure, and who once said, "If ballots don't work bullets will!"

And immediately I thought why a Democratic candidate would be going on the show of someone like that and gladly taking her praises.

[MaryMagdaline]

10. He opposed the Iran deal. Debbie supported it.

That clinched it for me. I voted for Debbie as I have since she was my state rep. The Iran vote was tough for her.

[Scurrilous]

12. ...

[Apollyonus]

14. Tim Canova

should. just. go. away. into. obscurity.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. The results of the last election suggest that is where he is heading.

Of course, if he is the mystery candidate who solicited hacked emails from Guccifer 2.0 (as noted in one of the Mueller indictments)--and I think it's a possibility--he could be thrust back into the spotlight.
