Rick Wilson: "The only rules of the game are this: Win the Electoral College."

Rick Wilson
@TheRickWilson

1/ There's a very passionate reaction to @realDonaldTrump's racisty racism this morning. It's justified, but pointless.

Let me remind you: there is no bottom. There is no better Trump. It's never a joke, or 87-dimensional chess, or some clever strategery.




2/ The point you're missing is that he cannot be shamed. He is immune to moral suasion. He really *is* that much of a monstrous ass.

It should stand as a reminder that he's going to play to the white nat alt-reich base and you're going to scream about it while you should...

3/ ...be blasting his message to suburban women voters who broke from the GOP in 2016 and 2018, and ONLY in the swing states

They don't want socialism. (Sorry, Squad)

They want decency and sanity.

They oppose cruelty and brutality.

Make this race a referendum on Trump.

4/ I do not care if you get 103% turnout in California. I care that you understand the rules of the game, and the only rules of the game are this:

Win the Electoral College.

His racist shitbag act helps you win the swing states if you can just not step on your genitals.

I dont need his flapping gums to make me aware how Trump squeaked through with this archaic repug assisting system

Nor do the candidates he so despises

Rick Wilson's opinions are worthless

we lose. Concentrate on healthcare as we did in 2018, and drop like a hot stone the argument that private help care should be abolished.

We stress healthcare, if people want to keep their private healthcare let them.

The only point for 2020 is WINNING. And winning means winning the EC whether we like it or not, winning back those Rust Belt states and keeping suburban voters on our side. Everything else is noise.

Yes, Rick Wilson is a dedicated Republican strategist. He's also a dedicated Trump loather and understands how damaging and destructive Trump and his corrupt core of Republican enablers are and will continue to be to the country and future.

Everyone's future.

Strange times make strange bedfellows. But on this, Wilson is on our side:

Trump & Trumpism needs to be annihilated, crushed, pulverized. We can resume all the cat-fighting and finger-pointing once the clear and present danger is obliterated.

Until then, we should accept whatever help and/or knowledgable advice we can get.

To do otherwise? Self-defeating.
