McCaskill: Trump ‘Knows Our Country Better Than We Do’ — His Appeal to Anger Won
Breitbart ^ | 11/06/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/06/2024 8:19:44 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, a former Democratic U.S. Senator for Missouri, said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President-Elect Donald Trump knew our country better than Democrats.

McCaskill said, “I think we have to acknowledge that Donald Trump knows our country better than we do. I think he figured out that anger — and frankly, fear — were way more powerful than appealing to people’s better angels. That anger and fear were going to work in this election. Whether you’re afraid of immigrants or afraid of people who are trans, he figured that out. And I think we all thought everyone’s better angels would prevail. Turns out, the better angels went on vacation when Donald Trump came down the escalator. And they haven’t returned.”

The left can NEVER be humble and step back and say we screwed up after they kick their butts kicked in a general election. Always name calling and endless feelings and emotions.

She’s confusing “better angels” with “bitter angels.”

LOL. The country is an “angry” country. The poor Dems didn’t have a chance because they are nice people who can’t tap into that meanness and anger like Trump can!!!

Wrong again, Claire. Trump won because of his appeal to SANITY.

And spent the entire cycle talking about this will be the end of democracy and women will have to go to back alleys. The list is very long of their fear and scare tactics.

😂😂😂. Let’s be clear claire, Trump was having a good time doing this. Anyone can sit down with him and just BS with him. She on the other hand, would be consistently looking for a way out. I can hardly b wait for the Jan 6th cert.

Yes, Claire, please continue to scold the people. In fact, get more Democrats to do it, even if they are “former” things. More scolding will help, Claire.

Trump’s policies were more than:

I am not white
I am not male
I am not Donald Trump
I support full term abortion.

Trump's appeal to anger?

It was Harris and Biden who called him a fascist, a tyrant, a nazi, who wanted to murder journalists and women.

She’s right. Democrats believed our country voted in anger, which proves the point that they don’t understand our country. But Trump understands.

The Democrats’ appeal to slander, dehumanization, and paranoia-level fearmongering lost. Thank God! There is justice left in this country.

Trump didn’t “win”. The Democrat leadership handed him the election. They had the incumbency path to winning, got greedy and blew it. It will be written about for decades. Whew, the good guys got lucky!

Maybe we can use those FEMA sanctuary camps they set up across the country?
