88. If I were a Republican ideologue

Fri Oct 16, 2015, 11:34 AM

Oct 2015

I would want to know who the Democrats will nominate and adjust campaign strategy appropriately. True, they have been expecting Mrs. Clinton to be the nominee and accused her of everything except causing cancer and established phony congressional investigations as needed.

A funny thing happened to Mrs. Clinton on her way to coronation. She's facing a peasants' revolt. The Democrats may actually pick Our Guy over her. They need to be ready for that, too.

Note the GOP's junkyard dog, The Donald, came out attacking Our Guy yesterday with a healthy dose of the red scare. He sounded like a more obnoxious version of Senator McCaskill, who tried the same to apply some old bottled red scare a while back and found it ineffective.

What we have here now is the establishment media and the more strategically-oriented right wing loonies reacting to Bernie's success the other night in different ways: the establishment media is trying to pretend it didn't happen, not very successfully, and the right wing loonies are looking for ways to react to having to face Senator Sanders a year from now.

Doesn't have to be based on scientific sampling methods for us to come to some obvious conclusions. Bubzer Oct 2015 #41
