Its 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- 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.

(2,273 posts)Sorry, but bullies need to be confronted directly. Not responding is interpreted by someone like 45 as weakness and submission.

(15,665 posts)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.

(540 posts)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.
