9. I think we need to realize

…and admit how good and benign and caring his framing is. The average low-information voter has no way to actually judge what he's saying. He makes it sound so good. He's gone make them all rich.

I don't think we can combat this monster until we see and address his skill at seducing his base. Even NPR lead with the headline "An American President visits the Farm Bureau for the first time in a quarter century." ( I don't quite have the correct name for the location.) Why is this? Why didn't O and HRC or Biden ever go there?

If we don't go talk to such groups, we are never going to turn this around.

Whitest looking crowd I've ever seen, but his rhetoric is a real lesson about how to name certain economic issues.

It horrifies us, but we need to see what's really going on—his media and communication skill. Just because it doesn't work with us doesn't mean it's not skilled at working his crowd.
