(14,757 posts)I am not talking about WHAT Trump says but that he doesn't tip toe around issues he feels strongly about. As we shouldn't . That's one thing that was appealing about Bernie. He was unapologetic about his insistence on things like....why can't the richest nation on earth afford healthcare for all like every other western democracy? Simple but deadly. There is no hand-wringing or pause about a) being labeled a socialist, or b) upsetting a few big insurance company donors. The DNC should be looking at how...even though he was pigeonholed as a socialist dreamer by mostly the right, but also some on the left (in DU as well) he still retained the highest approval rating of every contestant both R and D.
The point being that the difference is that we have truth on our side. Its ok to speak off the cuff if one is based in reality and has the real facts behind them.
