Just ask Richard Nixon how well it worked to enrage the entire MSM world. And that was during a time when the American Left was somewhat subdued, and still in their early Adult life. Now, they ARE the MSM.
This includes Moderates and Independents. The more voters you alienate, or turn off with low class rhetoric the more you like it for some reason.
Come November, our side is going to need every vote we can possibly muster, and it won’t help to energize the enemy with rhetoric like this.
This stupidity will effect all of us in the end.
Nixon did win re-election in 1972. His mistakes had little to do with making the MSM unhappy, everything to do with overkill.
