Someone who isn't afraid to sling mud at Trump. We need someone to get down and dirty with him because that's the only way we beat him. Democrats have GOT to stop acting like conventional campaigning works with him. It doesn't. He's not a conventional candidate and no amount of "I have nothing personal against the President...' comments will do any type of damage.
Hillary was at her strongest when she took Trump on directly. Unfortunately, in the last debate in 2016, she pulled back. I think she thought she had done enough damage. But I don't think so. Trump unravels when you hit him. Talk about his tiny hands. Who cares of it's superficial? It gets a response. Talk about his bankruptcies. Talk about how he's not as rich as he is or that his penis looks like a fucking toad. I get it. I GET that this goes counter to everything we are led to believe about politics. Petty, slimy politics like this SHOULD not work ... but at the end of the day, it does.
We can't run a candidate who lives by the creed that 'if they go low, we go high' because it doesn't work with Trump. He'll just go even lower until he sucker bunches us and we fall to the ground in a ball of pain. When he's down there in the mud, kick the mother fucker in the head.
Cuz that's the only way we're going to win. Throw out old game plans and everything you thought you knew about politics and elections. The most effective liberals and Democrats have been the ones who belittle the fuck out of Trump - guys like Michael Avenatti and Ted Lieu.
It sucks this is what we've come to as a country, and I get there were be moral purists who will be turned off by this type of action, but at the end of the day, we should never count on the moral purists to win - or we'll lose.
