(1,702 posts)Nothing will change his base when media presents him and his unhinged views, lies and positions (or lack there of).
No talking head panels with left pov and right pov "discussing" the latest outlandish interview, news reports or rally speech will convince either those hating him and those loving him to change their views.
No logic and facts will change either sides position. Claiming that we have to chip away and pick up a few % points of his base or the undecided is too much effort for not enough result.
I have heard, read and know enough to have my opinion solidified about him and the Republican enablers. The other side is no different than me.
Every Democratic candidate needs to heed Mayor Pete's words and view. Here comes the "BUT"....
But, the media makes $$$$ with headlines and I don't think they would choose to print, air "Biden calls for Health-care for everyone" versus " tRUMP calls Biden a mother fucking socialistic pig" . Hence the dilemma of fighting fire with fire or fire with facts and how the media will either be complicit as they were in 2015-16 and appear to be now.
Taking the air away from tRUMP and his insanity is the ONLY way IMO to mute him (of course his cult will still hear, follow and vote for him) but speaking to the minds and hearts of voters who have heard enough of his hate, lies and racism and those who want and need the programs and views of what many of the Democratic candidates offer must be tried. I hope the media grasps this and what it will mean for them in terms other than $$$.
Just sayin..
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
