8. He derives his power through his base, if he loses them...
he's done. Obviously, nothing we do or say is going to change whatever power grab he has in mind. I know he's a fascist, we all know he's a fascist. The Right-wingers believe he's a conservative but if they think he's changed camps to save his image, they'll turn on him like a pack of wolves. This is an opportunity to capitalize on his weakness by crumbling his base. We already hate him and nothing he says or does is going to change that. The moderates, if there are any, don't care one way or the other. We have a chance to shake this monkey out of his tree by sending the "most liberal Democrat" to support his call. But it should only be Kennedy and the others should maintain their classic Democrat silence. There's an opportunity to erode support the conservative Right-wing agenda. Opposition doesn't always mean you have be hostile. We could score huge here if they play this right.
