But the “and would do anything for them” just muddies the water.
The tweet was perfect; but that little extra jab is all they will talk about.
Wish someone would edit these things; 80% of his tweets are on point and persuasive; but he always adds the little punch line that dilutes his message.
‘that little extra jab is all they will talk about.’
That’s probably why it’s there.
All part of his trade-craft.
Dan go adjust your bow tie and get serious and then get back to us.
Stop sniveling, Dan.
“but that little extra jab is all they will talk about.”
I basically agree. So often a right on tweet contains a cringe worthy remark that overshadows the message. On the other hand that’s what makes the tweets dominate the news.
...depends on how you see it. I believe that was the point of the tweet, he doesn’t care what they think and knows they’ll be against him no matter how polite he is. They’ll distort anything anyway. So why fight it? If they’re going to have conniptions 24/7 and allow him to live in their heads, driving them nuts, then it’s brilliant. It means they can’t spend their bandwidth on other, more meaningful, topics.
tweet, tweet, tweet....heads explode. He’s trolling them without them even knowing it. Let them be over-the-top, it just reinforces with voters their disgusting bias...continuous exposure.
That’s the best part of the tweet. Kill shot with plausible deniability.
It’s that extra 20% that makes winning so much fun!
