Who do you rec as the anti-tRump to counter his tweet shit storms?

tRump will continue to bypass intelligence briefings in favor of trusting his own misguided and fragile ego.

Sadly, he does not plan to abandon Twitter... rather, his aim is to use it to further his authoritarian rule and propagate lies.

We need Twitter opposition poised to fight the fascist-elect the next four years!

Elizabeth Warren has shown to be an effective counter-puncher on Twitter. Who else do you rec as a kick-ass social media savvy progressive Twitter personality?

Someone who will amass millions of followers, who inspires "fuck yes" or "fuck no" enthusiasm in opposition .

Rude Pundit!

If anyone can put the verbal boot in the ass to the likes of Donnie Drumpf's twittering twaddle, it's him!

The Dems need to capture their media share in response, or a pathological liar will continue to grow his audience. We can't trust the MSM to do it.

by staying out of it. It's juvenile and participating just increases the foolishness.

I'm open to a more pragmatic and cerebral response, as long as it leads to Dems winning!

We live in a time where entertainment value correlates with political success. Even if it's frustrating as hell that it does!

The majority of Americans don't pay attention like we do on DU. They read tweets...

Keith Olbermann's good.

So is Elizabeth Warren.

But everyone needs to be speaking out against that fascist piece of shit.

But he only responds to a select few

Right now it's Alec Baldwin on SNL and Vanity Fair

Elizabeth Warren no longer elicits a response

Yes, he's conservative but he's righteously pissed off at Trump, and as a former CIA guy he tweets with authority.

normal people have lives: they work, have meaningful interactions with others, and even sleep sometimes. It might take a team working in shifts to deal with the sheer volume of his twitterhea.

Reading other responses here leads me to add the Rude One to the team.
