How Democrats Defeat Donald Trump
NY Times ^ | July 20, 2019 | Frank Bruni

Posted on 07/21/2019 3:48:16 PM PDT by Innovative

Stop talking so much about the America that he’s destroying. Save your breath for the America you want to create.

Surprise, surprise: Donald Trump has no bottom. Just when you think he has sunk as low as he can, he stages a rally like that atrocity in North Carolina on Wednesday night and sinks lower. But the key takeaway isn’t that he’s a demagogue or a racist: These were facts put into evidence long ago. It’s that Democrats can’t afford to take unnecessary risks, dream deferrable dreams and engage in avoidable distractions as they set about the urgent work of defeating him. The 2020 election isn’t about getting everything that Democrats want and that Americans deserve. It’s about getting rid of Trump, because the price of not doing so could be this nation’s very soul.

The Democratic Party and the Democratic candidates for president need to be smarter, more realistic and more disciplined than they are now. Enough with internal feuding. Enough with taking the president’s bait and bumbling into his traps. If he sets the terms of the political discussion, he wins.

Frank sort of gets it, but giving the presidency back to the Democrats would be national suicide.

What Democrat policy is attractive to any American? Even unions, other than government unions, can’t possibly hope to get their members to vote Democrat.

What Democrat president left office with a better America (economy, peace and prosperity, position in the world) than when he entered the office? Think of it and the answer is “none.”

If you notice most people in our prisons are ‘people of color’ and that they’re there for violent crimes... you’re a racist.

If you feel democrat policies have damaged the black community YOU are a racist.

If you know wealth comes from delaying gratification and saving for the future - YOU are a racist.

If you feel democrats have benefited from playing black citizens against all other racial groups in the United States, YOU are a racist.

If you see that the black community protects black criminals and punishes black citizens who ‘snitch’ YOU are a racist.

If you’ve noticed ‘criminal flash mobs’ are always out-of-control black youths - YOU are a racist.

If you know democrats have exploited the black community for votes and dependency you’re a racist.

If you feel rape and/or murder are more violent than saying the ‘N’ word, YOU are a racist.

If you see the world as it is - and not as liberals WISH it was, YOU are a racist.

If your last name is “Trump” liberals will call you a racist for breathing...

How Democrats Defeat Donald Trump

Hold the states you took before and take back Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. How you go about accomplishing that is the question.

They cannot afford to do that -- show their true stripes.

The America they want to create closely resembles Zimbabwe or Cuba or Venezuela. Their proposed $trillions in spending to accomplish all of the 'free' stuff would bankrupt the nation. There isn't that much wealth in the hands of wealthy.

The real America they want to create resembles many 3rd world nations.

Frank Bruni reeks of Trump derangement syndrome... bet he falls asleep wallowing in his hatred of Trump and 65 million Americans he's sure are RACIST RACIST RACIST!!!

I lived in the Jim Crow South and the racists - the ones with power who pushed their evil on black citizens - and not 5 guys from Joe's garage with delusions of that power - were ALL DEMOCRATS. George Wallace, Bull Conner, Robert Byrd - they were the 'elites'... And they're just like they were back then - only difference is (in our time) they've changed their choice of victim from black to 'traditional American'...

I’m glad that thinking about President Trump forced Frankie here to divert his attention from serial kiddie-diddling, at least for a little while...

Democrats are probing the ways to collapse the economy—the President’s trump card.

The NY Slimes continues to sink even lower and lower with bs personal opinions posing as news!
