We can't play by the rules when fighting people who have no regard for rules

All the most consequential presidents in history (like Lincoln and FDR) were "rogues" who didn't always play by the rules of normal governance. Now instead of a president trying to keep the union together or get out of the depression, we have a bunch of people who never grew out of their teenage libertarian phases who have declared war on all Americans.

I'm worried we have a Democratic party that's not up to this challenge. You're up against president that's very vulnerable to flattery and has the brain of a middle school boy and the richest man in the world that's nowhere close to as brilliant as he thinks he is. These guys are NOT invincible at all.

Take the gloves off.
