1. Of course they're going to run on fear and despair

What would you expect the Republicans to run on in 2020 - their sterling record of governing achievement?

[YOHABLO]

2. Oh that's their 'new' tactic for 2020. Socialists are coming .. Be VERY AFRAID.

They're so full of BS. We've already been down that road historically in the 1950s with McCarthy. Only it was Communists they were after. For most Right Wingers it's one and the same. It's not, but most RWers don't know the difference.

5. you are correct.

i just blocked a trumpster this morning on twitter - his post was that the left is communist.
none of them are cognizant of the fact that they rely on and love their socialist benefits, like SS and Medicare.
many of them are stupid.

7. I was a senior in high school

when Goldwater ran against LBJ. Socialism was the right's mantra then, and I remember discussing it during Social Studies. Goldwater scared too many people, though. Even Indiana went for LBJ that time.

9. Goldwater scared too many people because he wanted to nuke Russia and China.

[radical noodle]

10. The Johnson campaign

excelled in making people believe that. I don't believe he ever advocated nuking Russia or China but he did suggest he thought it might be a good idea in Vietnam. He would have undoubtedly been a horrible president, and (unlike trump) he wasn't a good enough con man to sway independents and many moderate/liberal Republicans to vote for him.

3. I saw that too.

Very ugly.

4. Willie Horton with a new

cynical twist.

[spanone]

6. Time to start our ads....

they're also running ads against Medicare for all.

[Runningdawg]

8. And what have they always suggested a patriot should do to a thief in his house? Shoot them!!

[tman]

11. That's the one thing the GOP are good at.

If they were smart, the Democrats could turn that ad around and depict a corporate theft of the middle class using the same themes.

..but they probably won't.
