This is how you take it to him! Go Joe!




Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
We're facing some of the greatest challenges in our history, and Donald Trump is patting himself on the back. He just has no idea what’s really going on in this country.

It's time for him to step out of his bunker and look around at the consequences of his words and actions.

he had just said:
WE FACE THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN OUR HISTORY. TRUMP IS PATTING HIMSELF ON THE BACK.
HE NEEDS TO STEP OUT OF THE BUNKER.


THEN, he can tweet again, filling it in, but we HAVE TO learn to message in BUMPER STICKER WORDS to move those undecided swing state voters. Has to be short and sweet and a direct lightning bolt into their reptilian brains.

Bumper stickers, which, by the way, are a strictly American phenomenon, need to be really short. Short enough that they can be read on the move, like when you pass a car on the road. It really helps if there’s a twist to the message and a touch of humor.

that out???? Are there no great Dem strategists, media consultants left anymore? Bloomberg figured it out during his brief stint. (bad timing synonymous with his campaign).

For people with Javascript or Twitter blockers, the plain text version is a blessing.

Every piece of ammunition should be thrown back at Trump x 1000. Don't let this malignant buffoon forget who he is and what he's done.

Never forget, never forgive.

to change their minds. It is the perfect self-contained unassailable message. Paints Trump in a corner. But you know, depends on the listener and their objective I guess.

Hit him early each day with simple buzz words that stick and piss him off, like Baby Gate and Bunker Baby but most importantly for me is to call out some of his lies in simple terms. Hardly anyone likes a liar.

Trump not only has the bully pulpit and usually gets the first word but he also has the advantage of the vast right-wing media machine of Fox News, talk radio and a non-stop invasion of social media.


I hope Joe can turn the tide against Trump's media abuse..........
