No more nice guy

It’s time for democrats to start hitting back at trump. When he tweets insults, prominent democrats should tweet insults right back at him. For example, when he called Durbin “Dicky”, Durbin could have tweeted back calling trump Don the Con or something similar. This would enrage trump and make him say things that would at least embarrass his gop enablers even further. It would also keep him from attending to policy, which is great because we despise his policies. Forget the so called “high road” with trump, he only understands gutter talk and despises criticism.

2. Sorry, but that is a ridiculous idea.

1- He is enraged enough..which is dangerous.
2- He doesn't attend to policies anyway, in fact, he doesn't attend to anything except golf.
3- It is childish.
4- His GOP enablers haven't been embarrassed yet. They won't start now.

3. No more nice guy

Democrats can walk and chew gum simultaneously. A reply tweet takes mere seconds, but it can go a long way in further destabilizing and upsetting 45. It’s time to fight back on all fronts and address 45’s insults head on.

16. Well were I Dick Durbin

I'd have had someone else respond with the following - speaking of dicky, when last did your dicky work? That would piss him off.

Sorry, but bullies need to be confronted directly. Not responding is interpreted by someone like 45 as weakness and submission.

7. I agree ... for a another reason.

Aggressive straight talk is admired by Americans generally -- provided it's based on reality and reasonable. Trump has only a minority who admire him -- for a reason.

8. AlreadY Doing It

Whenever I meet a Republican I never have to see again I verbally abuse them. Republicans are evil lying scum and I ain't afraid to tell them to their ugly smarmy faces.

You be nice. It doesn't work. You can't convince imbeciles. I'm with the op and then some.

Besides, he would LOVE for Democratic leaders to descend to his level.
