26. Complacency is a no-go

Thu May 5, 2016, 03:41 PM

May 2016

You're absolutely correct that Dems have to prepare for this as if they were running against Bush or Kasich or any other of the more formidable, credentialed Republicans. In fact, harder because The Donald cannot be permitted to take his unhinged world view and mindset anywhere near the WH. He's wildly unpredictable. And not in a good or sane way.

That being said I think Democratic strategists are already planning their moves to kneecap The Talking Yam Who Would Be King. His mouth and behavior over the last year has proven at the very least that the man is a serial liar and narcissist.

This election will be one for the record books, as in ugly, ugly.
