politics. They can't deny one without denying the other. They can either choose, 'care for the immigrants and poor' that their religion dictates, or they can choose 'violently deport all immigrants and punish the poor until they die' that their political party dictates.

that repubs are better at foreign policy, better for business & the economy. Oh & they're the party of family values & the party of God.

Our side busy was running from the word liberal cuz a two-bit actor poked fun at it. IDK what it is about marketing, messaging, or capturing the narrative that we don't get, but we still don't get it. Dem leadership should have hired George Lakoff back when he wrote "Don't Think of an Elephant." David Cay Johnston would have been a good hire, too.

... Laura? Try "Rock-hard, irrefutable proof shows that... the latest Republican tax legislation has favored the wealthy while reducing essential services for the middle class."
These evil fucks do not deserve the wiggle room your phrasing affords them. They are rotten down to their DNA, or Trumpleforeskin would never have appointed any of them to the exalted positions they currently defile.
His next outrage will be to launch investigations into any and all pollsters that dared to tell anything even approximating the truth about what seriously deep shit he's really in.
Pro tip: When you can't even see over the edge of the hole you're in, Donnie, it's time to stop digging.

Wait.. Didn't he just fire someone that said the polling numbers were horrendous? I'm thinking in the 30's percentile for approval? Then a day after that he was boasting his numbers were in the 70's? YEAH RIGHT!!!!

This coming from a man that lied to Americans over 30K time, in his last session?

I know which number I believe.

Given that trump's base will never abandon him, even if he "shot someone on Fifth Ave", or tanked the economy, or paid off a porn star, or was in love with Putin and Kim Jung Un, or cheats and lies at everything he does, etc, etc, etc
