than today's roll-out of Hillary.
Obama, Biden, Warren...WOW!
You woulda thunk the Sanders meeting at the WH would be the lead story tonight, but no. The big guns came out today in a coordinated and concerted effort to lay some major damage on Trump, and right out of the starting blocks.
It's obvious to me that Obama and Clinton have been developing a winning strategy between them. This is playing the power cards you have, mercilessly, aggressively. They are taking no prisoners. They are going to delegitimize Trump and the entire Republican apparatus. They are saying that Trump is just the latest, most-obvious example of what has been WRONG about Republicans for years.
Hold on, because the earth under the Republicans is going to be scorched and salted this year.
Damn. Just, DAMN!!

(27,815 posts)Today has been Aaron Sorkin-esque in its scope, its message, and attention to detail. And all the right people played supporting roles, from Biden, to Warren, to Obama.
Well done!!!

(8,419 posts)Have never seen messaging as tightly scripted from a group of Democrats. The media likes to keep the argument on Trump focused on racism. That will have zero impact on his supporters. Warren and Biden focused on him being an unethical, unprepared, and uneducated person. AND he is also a racist. The racists comments were always delivered as and also or and, not as the main critique. For example Warren focused on Trump defrauding grandpa and grandma and oh by the way he is a racist prick also. 80 to 90 percent of each point focused on his deep flaws as a human being, ignoring his racism, but btw he is a racist too.
It takes the emotion out of the delivery, and was aimed at the Republican mindset. Thus making it harder to defend Trump. Then both immediately pivoted to tying all Republicans together based on the non responses to Trump AND their own behavior over the last 8 years.
Truly well coordinated. My guess is Obama will follow up shortly with a more amusing and sarcastic tone. They really look like they are finally going for the knock out of the Republicans.

(24,396 posts)for these 8 years, taking the insults and the constant attacks from the Rs, all the time looking down the road to when the counterattack would be unleashed with a ferocity that, frankly, caught everyone off guard.
And you also have to wonder how he kept it all under wraps, because the people involved today all have huge personalities that needed real political discipline to wait until the most-opportune moment to strike.
Magnificent to watch today.
