If we keep pushing some of these far left ideas, we can expect much more and much worse going forward. Trump campaign is flush with cash and can afford to saturate the airways with this kind of crap. My message to the party: Quit giving them ammunition!

Might as well run on a Democratic platform, since Trump's going to call names regardless.

Why doesn't the DNC have ads ready for after he has his "rallies"?

Or when he says something racist or intolerant?

And run them all on FOX?

Put the ads only on FOX. And hit him hard.

Over and over and over again.

Orange Manson is being allowed, unfettered, to marinate his followers brains in a rancid brine of fear and insecurity while binding their gaze to a flickering screen of anemioa.

And we pay for it, every day.

And voters eat it up.

If a Democrat runs a mudslinging ad which is accurate they get attacked from all sides.

Regarding Comcast, IMO they have an agenda and are no fans of Sander, Warren, or any other candidate who favor policies that could hurt their bottom line. You could see the change when they took over and Keith Olbermann got axed. RM changed very noticebly etc.

I could find a way to stream if I cared yo but I don't

moderate person. Not because trump won't label anyone we pick, but because we are trying to attract middle of the roaders who are actually quite scared of the "too left" (for them). If we don't, he will win again. It is so simple.
