So the 2018 GOP campaign meme will be about Clinton

[bronxiteforever]

Because rethugs have absolutely no ideas except those that are toxic to the country. They intend to gin up the Clinton hate machine even though the Clintons have not been in a position of power since 2016 and she is not a candidate. This is the “great diversion” from the hot mess they are making the country. The right worked for 25 years on that machine and they can’t give it up.

I hope we localize these races with the point of the spear being the question “what has my congressperson done to me and not for me.”Votes on healthcare, taxes and Devos education will be extremely difficult to justify to a large electorate. I know we have to get thru the gerrymandering and the dark money but most of the public knows the GOP trump appeasement policy is destroying the fabric that holds the society together.

1. Only if we let them

They KNOW 2018 will be ALL about trump. He will be hung around the neck of every con running so they're trying to re-run 2016 again. We have the better message and the message should be what it's all about. Don't cater to the cons and let them make it about Hillary. Call them cowards and afraid of their own message if they try.

2. Could not agree with you more. They have to run from their ideas.

4. You will have to fight fire with fire...ideas will get lost in the blood bath I fear.

5. Only if the news media will cooperate with us...

and stop the bullshit. As long as our media chases the next shiny object, Dems won't be able to get their message out.

6. Other than fox

I really don't see any "media" that is taking up for donnie. Even the ones that used to play it right down the line are disgusted...and it shows. The media aren't the only ones responsible for 2016. How many Democrats stayed home or voted 3rd party, or even voted for trump?

7. It's not just about "taking up" for Trump...

it's that every time he farts out a tweet, they spend 4 days talking about it while real issues get sidelined.

We're lost in an alternative Reality TV world where the one who screams loudest and longest "wins."

8. Since he rarely, or really never

does interviews with anyone other than fox, twitter is his only real means of "communications". How can they not cover his feed?

3. I don't think it will work...she is yesterday's news.
