Rick Wilson Gives Dems 2020 Campaign Advice: Dont Try to Play Catch-up With Trumps Tidal Wave of BSBy Reed Richardson June 19th, 2019, 12:15 am
Longtime White House critic Rick Wilson offered Democrats some free 2020 campaign advice on MSNBCs The 11th Hour after President Donald Trumps re-election kickoff rally in Orlando, Florida, warning the party that it would be fruitless to try to play catch-up with the tidal wave of BS in this campaign.
Referring to a Trump supporter interviewed at the rally who said she supported the president because he doesnt lie, Wilson noted that any voter who ignores the nearly 11,000 lies and misleading statements hes made as president will never be persuaded to abandon him.
Those folks tonight, Wilson said, Donald Trump can say and do anything and there is no boundary he can cross with them that loses their vote. The ones committed enough to go show up in that room tonight live in a completely separate political sphere. It is hermetic. They live inside Donald Trumps definition of reality. He can tell them the wall is 3,000 feet long and made of solid gold and has alligator moats and theyll say Of course it does.'
Per CNN fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale, Trump made a number of outright false or exaggerated statements at his Tuesday night 2020 campaign launch.
This is something Democrats have to face very quickly, Wilson added. He is going to spout a torrent, a tidal wave of BS in this campaign, and theyll try to play catch up every day and wont be able to because he can lie with a speed and faculty no one else has ever had.

a half years(at least 20), his has been my favorite, Everything Trump Touches Dies. I highly recommend it.
On Twitter each time someone goes down he follows it with the hashtag #ETTD.

I also really liked Commander in Cheat, which was about Trump's history with the game and business of golf. It did a good job of showing how there is nothing too big or too small for Trump to lie about.

Something like Don the Con is a serial liar should be the refrain for every Democrat for every piece of B.S. that comes out of Donald mouth.
