Another attack on an African American while telling one of the hugest whoppers ever...."I am the least racist person in the world". Even OC doesn't believe that shit.

Don't know about CNN but MSNBC's ratings are up 10% of last year's.
Does he think we're so stupid we don't know how to google this stuff, or too lazy we won't bother, or too brainwashed we won't question his statements?
Or does he have a MH issue where he thinks if he says something, that magically makes it happen?
We don't matter, because we are not going to vote for him anyway. His base, on the other hand.... Yes, he thinks they are too stupid or too brainwashed. He counts on it.

I've been thinking about this line, and disagree.
"Trump's playbook doesn't have any defensive plays because he's never not on offense and it is a beautiful thing to behold."
I think Trump is always on defense. Watching yesterday's Steve Wilko show solidified my belief on that. Trump is always attacking others I believe because he feels he needs to deflect attention away from his actions. The show concerned a mother who called the show hoping to clear her name via the lie detector test. Turns out she was guilty of hitting and abusing her young son when he was two years of age. She wouldn't answer straight questions on what she did and kept deflecting by complaining about her ex was a bad father. In many ways she reminded me of how Trump acts.
Trump isn't ruining the Dem party, but he's done an amazing job on the GOP.

I worked today for my hardcore Liberal friend, He is discussed with the fighting in the Democratic party, He has almost already resigned to the fact Trump is going to be re elected!

They are simply in the process of sorting it out. Last time I checked the election, featuring only 1 Demo, is 15 months away. Yell him Don says to simmer fown and take a chill pill, call him now.😎

You remember how the GOP had something like 17 candidates, initially, in the 2016 election? It took months before Trump finally fought his way to the top of the heap and became the nominee. That primary was just as contentious as the Dem one is now.
And yet the GOP 2016 campaign was successful in getting their candidate elected. Maybe the Dems will, too. I heard the other day the next debate only has 7 candidates who have qualified to be on the stage, so far (not sure what they have to do to qualify). Eventually, the dems will rally around one candidate, like the GOP did with Trump, like every election cycle does, every 4 years.
I kind of like the fighting in the Dem party - it shows the Dems are a very diverse party, with a lot of different voices. The GOP, on the other hand, has become, more and more, the party of white Christian men, which is not great for the party, long term.

The difference was the Repo, had candidate that looked like they were leading,, Trump was not one of them, Bush look strong then. At this point the Democrats, do not look like they have someone that can beat Trump. Diverse?? they are headed six ways to Sunday! Their base is the same way,, I only need to look at My oldest grandsons, Socialist Central. free, free, free,

Not sure in which direction you're looking. Any polls I've seen have Biden beating Trump, and usually Sanders and Warren leading, too. Harris and Buttegig are usually tied. Can't remember seeing a single poll that had Trump coming out on top of any of the Dem front runners.
What should really concern Trumpettes is that when asked 'would you vote for a dem who doesn't align with your core values, or would you vote for Trump' about 60% of the Dem's polled said it didn't really matter which Dem won the nomination - they were voting for him, regardless.
They aren't voting FOR anyone. They're voting AGAINST Trump. So it may not even matter who the Dems nominate.

Important to keep that in mind.

DONALD TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING IS LOWER THAN ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE SQUADU.S. President Donald Trump has a lower approval rating than all four of The Squad, a group of progressive, Democratic congresswomen of color he told to "go back" to their ancestral homelands in a tweet, according to a new The Economist/YouGov poll. Trump's net approval rating, excluding don't knows, was -11. By comparison, The Squad—which includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley—who also all had negative approval ratings, were significantly better. New York's Ocasio-Cortez's was -3, Minnesota's Omar was -6, Michigan's Tlaib was -3, and Massachusetts' Pressley was -3. The four women had larger "don't know" answers than Trump, who has far greater name recognition among the wider American public. The poll of 1,500 adult American citizens was conducted between July 21 and 23, several days after Trump's controversial tweet targeting the freshwomen congressmembers, who are prominent campaigners against his administration, which they argue is racist. DONALD TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING IS LOWER THAN ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE SQUADDetailed Poll Information

And now he is attacking another 'person of color'...again!
Which proves that he insults people equally, regardless of race - ie, not a racist.

Really, what non-person of color has he insulted lately? He is racist to the core & always has been...just go back & read some of his early history...he has not changed! And dumb as a rock to boot!

I got the feeling from my two hardcore Liberals, unless they come up with some better that we see no, they may not vote,
Both are enjoying Trumps economy, one is employed where he wants, the others business is doing better under Trump than under Obama, he likes Obama.

Another attack on an African American while telling one of the hugest whoppers ever...."I am the least racist person in the world". Even OC doesn't believe that shit. So saying that the city government isn't doing their jobs is an attack on African Americans? Is this because the crooks who aren't doing their job are African Americans, or is it because the victims of their negligence are African American?

So saying that the city government isn't doing their jobs is an attack on African Americans? ... Just to review: "Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place," Trump wrote. link Note that it starts with the name of an individual and uses the pronoun "he" twice. Those clearly indicate an attack on an individual, not commentary on how a city is being run.
