Politico: Democrats 'Should Play Dirty'
Newsbusters ^ | July 5, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Democrats!

If you think the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court last year upset the left, that is nothing compared to their reaction to President Donald Trump naming a replacement for the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy to the high court which has sent them over the edge of sanity. As a result they want to take revenge on the Republicans for the high crime of winning the presidency in 2016 in addition to maintaining control of Congress.

Although the Democrat leadership wants to project an image of stability, many of their members are so embittered that they are advocating playing dirty if they ever regain power.

Political theorist and former congressional speechwriter Rob Goodman is among the play dirty liberals to the extent of advocating the packing the Supreme Court (to override the conservative justices appointed by Trump) as well as granting statehood to Puerto Rico and D.C. as well as to split California seven ways in order to pack the Senate with over a dozen new Democrats. Somewhere, Maxine Waters is proud.

This is what the Democrat leadership REALLY thinks. They just don't want you to know but, unfortunately for them, the author of this Politico piece spilled the beans.

Should play dirty?

When have they ever played otherwise?

It is exactly this sort of thinking that makes me think the Democrats will cross the line after November.

I say that November will go very badly for the Democrats. After that, they will abandon the political process — all of the little political schemes identified in this article will suddenly seem weak and insufficient to the Democrats: they won’t have enough power to do any of it, so why bother with politics?

They will go straight to violence.

It’s going to happen every 6 to 12 months for the next six years. Get used to it.

Democrats always play dirty. So this is a call to pull out all the stops, ouch the absolute limits of decency and ethics.

play dirty like this?

5 Jul: Tweet: Mike Cernovich:
Cernovich Retweeted NBC News
“To date, Rep. Jordan has not responded to those requests.”
THEY USED A FAKE EMAIL ADDRESS.
This story has yet to be corrected or updated, indicating this important detail.
NBC is fake news.

5 Jul: Columbus Dispatch: Trump says he doesn’t believe allegations against Jim Jordan; new victim emerges
By Jennifer Smola
Trump’s backing came a few hours after the revelations that the legal team investigating the doctor for Ohio State used the wrong email address when they tried to contact Jordan twice in May...
Investigators emailed jim.jordan@mail.house.gov on May 14 and May 24 about setting up an interview as part of their probe, according to emails provided by Trafford, through OSU. Trafford is an attorney for Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, which has hired Perkins Coie to carry out the investigation.
Jordan’s office said while that email style follows the naming convention for House staffers, it does not lead to Jordan nor his office...

If they ever play things straight and honest, that’s when we need to pay attention. Thankfully it’s not likely to ever occur.

The left will rue the day they finally resort to out and out violence against conservatives. There is a %age of us out here, probably small, that will f’ing take it to them. We’ve had it with the game and are sick of being the only side playing by the rules. They want a fight?? BRING.

The joke is, morons think that if they “play dirty” it will somehow be more effective than having candidates that people want to vote for, and campaigns that persuade people to vote for your party.

Ask the Watergate burglars if dirty or illegal actually helps your campaign?

Dems play dirty all the time. We Pubs must start hitting them below the belt with great regularity now. This is a fight to the end my friends, and a civil war is a definite future possibility. I’ll go down with my boots on, thank you.

...if they ever regain power.

At the rate the Dems are going, that "if" is the size of El Capitan.

That’s like saying the media needs to take the gloves off.

Right on the money, my friend.

They're already morphing in that direction, what, with Maxine Waters out there inciting violence against Trump cabinet officials and supporters, Antifa thugs beating patriots peacefully assembling in public, deranged lefties assaulting anyone who dares to wear a MAGA cap, Hollywood libs calling for violence against the First Family, Hillary banging the "stolen election" drum, and leftist MSM droids blasting their insipid insanity across the fruited plain, day and night.

It's only a matter of time, until some leftist goes too far, and sparks a backlash from the right that cannot easily be extinguished.
