I hope the DNC has a plan for our candidates to respond to Trump's campaign speech tonight. Out
on the trail they must ALL be able to respond to facts regarding the lies and misinformation that Trump will be spewing tonight. Dems will need rapid responses to all the BS that you know is coming including facts that the number of immigrants crossing our southern border has increased under Trump...show the numbers. Deficit spending, increase in carbon emissions, tax cuts for the wealthy, lack of good paying jobs, latest job numbers, our individual and national credit debt, assault on our environment, corporate and farm welfare because of tariffs, and the new NAFTA being the same as the old NAFTA, the damage that pulling out of the TPP and our loss of influence in international markets, Iran situation being more dangerous, the ME on edge for greater hostilities, making friends with the worlds worse autocrats and making enemies of friends etc.
Joe has it right about the country being more hostile to each other. The increase in the number of mass shootings and deaths by guns, military homelessness, general homelessness, corruption of administration officials, collusion with Russia, Saudi Arabia, and how the dictators flatter Trump to get what they want, the need to protect the country from Trump's leaking to foreign enemies.
We need to come out strong in all the town hall meetings and challenge and fact check everything Trump will be saying tonight. AND we need to hold the media accountable for what they cover and how they cover it. Their 2016 coverage also contributed to the outcome.
