President Trump was perfectly acceptable, nay even sought out, by the "Manhattan elite" when he had a -D after his name...

Wrong. The Manhattan elites can't stand Trump because they know he's a fraud and a con artist. They'll never accept him or his spawn, and the Trump Trash would like nothing more than to be accepted by them.

And, to be perfectly honest, I don't think President Trump gives 2 shitz about what those "Manhattan elite"s think about him now..

To be perfectly honest, you are incorrect. Trump gives a great deal of shit about what everyone thinks of him, particularly the elites to whom he wants nothing more than to belong. That's why Trump lies incessantly and makes shit up constantly. Trump is a con artist who lies and cheats to get ahead... always has been and always will be.

There are no facts to support the claim that President Trump's populism is anything but genuine..

You should pay better attention.

Everyone on the Left, including here, has ALWAYS underestimated President Trump and his appeal to Americans..

Wrong. I believe everyone here has acknowledged that there are stupid people who have bought "all in" to the Trump con. Trump is a con, a pathological liar, and a cheat.

This latest faux impeachment coup is a PERFECT example.. Democrats thought that once a case was made, even if it's the most flimsiest and hazy and nebulous case possible, the people would rally and stand up against President Trump..

Your rhetoric is ample proof as to why you fell for the Trump con.

Democrats can't win against President Trump because Democrats are *CONSTANTLY* under-estimating President Trump.. Are *CONSTANTLY* under-estimating President Trump's supporters..

Wrong. We know gullibility and ignorance when we see it... just like we know liars/cons and cheats like Trump.

Like I said.. Underestimating President Trump is the worst thing that can be done..

Wrong. Falling for the Trump cheater and con is far worse. It's proof of your gullibility and inability to spot fraud when it's obvious to the majority.

But, before the Biden/Trump Debate happens, there is going to be the Joe/Hunter Biden trial in the senate.. That's going to really chip away Biden's armor..

You're so gullible that you believe Trump's trial will be a trial of Joe Biden. Now how stupid is that?

As an aside, what kind of Democrat names his kid "HUNTER"??

Duh. Joseph Biden and his wife Neilia Biden named their second son after his grandfather. Neilia's maiden name was Hunter; she was named after her father, Robert Neil Hunter, and she named her second son Robert Hunter Biden after her father.

Given the pass ya'all have given Adam Schiff over all of his lies, such a tactic would definitely backfire...

You can't claim the moral high ground on LIES if you refuse to hold your own accountable..

The guy who idolizes the pathologically lying Donald Trump explaining "moral high ground on LIES" is a laugh riot of the highest order.

Every time... **EVERY** time President Trump has won (and there are a PLETHORA of examples) it's because Democrats have underestimated President Trump and President Trump's supporters..

You seriously taking credit for the Trump con? Okay.

This latest bonehead faux impeachment coup is a perfect example.. Democrats assumed they would be greeted as liberators by the American people once they actually started the impeachment...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Trump impeached himself by breaking multiple laws. Nancy Pelosi did not want to impeach Trump, but he left her no choice. Full stop.

And look what happened.. Democrats are LOSING in the Independent/NPA polls...

*laughs* Your gullibility is sweet and stupid all rolled into one.

If one can't acknowledge President Trump's strengths, one will never have a hope in hell of defeating President Trump..

He's a great con artist, and ignorant people will believe damn near anything they're spoon-fed by a con. Meanwhile, Trump has been illegally laundering money for Russians for decades. Your icon is a con, and you're a sucker who's obviously been snowed by the con.

He'll be impeached, and I have no doubt he'll claim it's what he wanted... and he'll be lying about that too, and you'll believe him because you're gullible. #SSDD :)

Corbyn's bloodbath defeat in UK election sends 'catastrophic warning' to 2020 Dems
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/corbyns-bloodbath-defeat-in-uk-election-sends-warning-to-2020-democrats

It's looking worse and worse for Dems.

My previous advice for Dems to just forget about 2020 and concentrate on 2024 is looking very prescient given the facts and reality..

Looks like Joe Biden and I are on the same page.. :D

Which is at it should be..

When the technology allows the economics to make the desired changes, there are minimal societal impacts..

But to unilaterally shut down our electrical grid without have ANYTHING to replace?? Which is what many Left Wingers are suggesting...

That's ridiculous... crossing the border into insanity...

That could be true, but economics appears to be doing it whether any politicians are for it or not.

So, for purposses relating to this blog, I just Wikipedia-ed him. Their entry on him seems to indicate that his ever-changing party affiliation appears to be far more closely related to expediency than to ideology.

As with most people, I was astounded that he won the Rep nomination.

Welp... Bloomberg, and anyone who thinks like Bloomberg can kiss Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Montana, Texas and Indiana goodbye

And I was really referring to the "elites" who are, yes, wealthy people. But not the overall cocktail circuit I was referring to..

The hate that permeates the soul of the Left Wingery regarding Donald Trump today was simply NON-EXISTENT when Trump had a -D after his name..

That's my point and there are plenty of facts to backup that point..

if one can believe what donald said, and that's a big if, his own perception in the 1980's was that the elites didn't like him.

“The people that I do best with drive the taxis. You know, wealthy people don’t like me because I’m competing with them all the time. And I like to win. I go down the streets of New York and the people that really like me are the workers.”

Very good article.. Illustrates perfectly the disconnect between the delusion EVERYTHING IS AWESOME and the Oh-Shit This Is BAD reality...

But all President Trump has to say is, "STOP AND FRISK" and Bloomberg will be reduced to a stack of blubbering jello..

THAT is the reality...

And if the reality looks bad for Democrats, it's ignored..

There are additional examples...

There are no facts to support that claim.

On the other hand, it's well documented that Trump was invited to all the hoity-toity Democrat shindigs as a guest of honor.. Including Chelsea Clinton's wedding, if I am not mistaken.

There is, of course, all the honors that were heaped up Democrat Donald Trump.. By the likes of Jesse Jackson etc etc..

It's all there in black and white.. Donald Trump was the Democrats' cat's meow when he had a -D after his name..

Donald Trump and the Democrat Party.. It's like a newlywed couple..

When they are first married, they can't get enough of each other and cannot sing the praises high or loud enough..

Once the divorce proceedings starts, it's the diametrically opposite.. They can't say enough low and hurtful and hateful things about each other...

That is what it's all about here.. And that's why it's hard to take seriously... Because the *facts* clearly prove it's all about the -D/-R..... All else is secondary..

Here. Let me show you..

sure they took his money, but even then they laughed at him behind his back.

To his supporters, the 70-year-old offered a chance to deliver a radical leftist agenda, shaking up the economy and reversing a decade of Conservative public spending cuts.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/anti-semitism-and-brexit-shatter-corbyns-dreams-of-global-far-left-revolution/

The forces of the Left are on the run all over the world..

It certainly is not a good time to be a Left Winger, eh??

I'm just sayin'...

Not factually accurate..

President Trump was perfectly acceptable, nay even sought out, by the "Manhattan elite" when he had a -D after his name...

And, to be perfectly honest, I don't think President Trump gives 2 shitz about what those "Manhattan elite"s think about him now..

President Trump has 63+ million reasons not to care what the elites think about him..

Bloomberg is not afraid of a fight, either. He wouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight, although he would likely strenuously object to that metaphor, since one of the things he's been fighting hard for is better gun control legislation.

Which is why Bloomberg will NEVER get my vote and why he will never be elected POTUS..

Bernie would expose -- even more so than Elizabeth Warren, although in a different way -- how Trump's false populism was never anything more than a big, fat lie.

There are no facts to support the claim that President Trump's populism is anything but genuine..

I have posted fact after fact after fact from interviews in fly-over country that proves President Trump's bona-fides as a true populist...

If one cannot acknowledge the factual strengths of one's opponent, one cannot hope to defeat said opponent..

And THAT has been the story about this since Jun of 2015...

Always ridiculing Trump's support of the people and never acknowledging his real and tangible strengths...

Everyone on the Left, including here, has ALWAYS underestimated President Trump and his appeal to Americans..

This latest faux impeachment coup is a PERFECT example.. Democrats thought that once a case was made, even if it's the most flimsiest and hazy and nebulous case possible, the people would rally and stand up against President Trump..

Howz that werkin' out so far??

Democrats can't win against President Trump because Democrats are *CONSTANTLY* under-estimating President Trump.. Are *CONSTANTLY* under-estimating President Trump's supporters..

If there is a flaw in that logic???

"I'm all ears"

Bernie also has the ability to pivot well. Unlike some of the other Democrats, he can keep up with a fast-moving back-and-forth. His use of humor is also underrated, but would be up to the challenge of Trump's putdowns. Bernie versus Trump would, in my estimation, prove to be a debate for the ages, on entertainment value alone.

Bernie's problem is one of health.. Maybe pre-heart attack Bernie might have been able to keep pace with President Trump..

Post-heart attack Bernie?? I don't think Bernie could do it..

Both the media and Trump himself will be waiting to pounce if Biden stumbles or comes up with a gaffe, of course. Trump is likely not smart enough to recognize these on the fly

There are almost 20 GOP candidates who would likely differ with you..

Like I said.. Underestimating President Trump is the worst thing that can be done..

All in all, I think Biden would be a lot better in a debate with Trump than many Democrats now might realize. Biden is feisty, and he is not one given to weathering attacks without pushing back. He could easily hold his own even against Trump's worst attacks.

All things being equal, I would probably agree with you..

But, before the Biden/Trump Debate happens, there is going to be the Joe/Hunter Biden trial in the senate.. That's going to really chip away Biden's armor..

As an aside, what kind of Democrat names his kid "HUNTER"??

Imagine, if you will, the first time Trump says something that is just flat-out wrong. Now picture the Democrat pulling out a large index card (or even a small whiteboard) and writing in big letters at the top of it: "TRUMP LIES." Then below this, making a mark for the first one, and turning the card to the cameras and propping it up right in front of his or her microphone.

Given the pass ya'all have given Adam Schiff over all of his lies, such a tactic would definitely backfire...

You can't claim the moral high ground on LIES if you refuse to hold your own accountable..

All in all, a pretty good synopsis.. But it's all a rosy picture.. It's the best case scenario with not a hint of reality.. Basically you are saying, "Trump will be an asshole and Bernie/Bloomberg/Biden will bitch slap him down and win the debate. Taaa daaaa.

You and I both know that THAT is not the reality..

Every time... **EVERY** time President Trump has won (and there are a PLETHORA of examples) it's because Democrats have underestimated President Trump and President Trump's supporters..

This latest bonehead faux impeachment coup is a perfect example.. Democrats assumed they would be greeted as liberators by the American people once they actually started the impeachment...

And look what happened.. Democrats are LOSING in the Independent/NPA polls...

If one can't acknowledge President Trump's strengths, one will never have a hope in hell of defeating President Trump..

No matter what the platform... Debate... Campaign... Life...
