Sun Tzu: know your Republican

[TheHak]

I spend my time in the middle of very republican office. Not the deplorables, educated well trained highly paid republicans.

They were terrorized that this was the last election they could win because of the demographic trends.

They have no issues with voter suppression or other 'anti' democratic way of winning. In their twisted minded there is an alpha white male theory that they do this for the good of everyone as others are 'unfit' to vote. Believe me, they will do whatever it takes to win AND still feel morally ok about it.

They like Putin now more because he helped them win. So they like him now. Its like the Vichy regime in France. The interior enemy is their only focus. A foreign country that helps them suppress their enemy is an Ally, whoever it is. Trust me the 'liberal' is THE enemy.

They are educated but they make up their mind on one tweet and/or one biased article by a climate denier that climate change doesn't exist.

Those who thought the EC could switch were delusional. You empathetically imagined yourself in their shoes but the truth is you can't.

They will do whatever it takes, create whatever necessary diversion, suppress whatever amount to win.

They will bully those in their ways in a manner most don't imagine.

We have no idea how difficult winning the 2020 election will be. Lets unite.

1. Yes. 40% of the electorate did not vote.

Of those with that tendency, I'm guessing Trump and anti-Hillary forces drew most of the conservatives they could to the polls. We can grow some critical support from this group, enough to overcome rural-urban disadvantages, and Trump and the would-be kleptocrats and dominionists are going to help break ground for us.

It's possible not enough people will become very unhappy in time for 2018 (Obamacare will still be in force), but taking back Congress then should be a major goal. Our enemies are various extremist factions trying to schmooze and direct a volatile and disordered president. They will make big mistakes.

5. Some were prevented from voting. We need to deal with that. (nt)

[Hortensis]

6. Yes! Absolutely. I was really looking forward to H filling

the many judge slots the Republicans blocked under Obama (sigh), but Obama still did fill many seats with good people.

2. Republican leaders are very class conscious.

Unfortunately, Democrats struggle to nominate their most vocal, class conscious candidates to act as a foil in general elections.

Class (rich vs. poor) is apparently a minor issue according to some of our voters.

That's all I'm going to say.

3. They are deplorable. The are just educated and highly paid deplorable.

I kind of don't like that you equal salary and social status with whether or not a person is deplorable or not. Just think of Trump

[TheHak]

4. Not talking salary

More so college educated that had ton of free time to educate themselves more than they did.

I am even more angry at those..

8. That's what I was thinking.

To me, all the trump supporters are deplorable. I keep saying he is supported by many levels of wealth, education etc.

All of them are supporting this racist. hateful travesty. The wealthy just think they are oh- so-special. That they will be fine. We'll see.

7. repukes fight like cornered dogs.

9. 2018 is the first hurdle, take back the Senate.
