Donnie did something vile and self-serving? While ignoring the cost to anyone but himself?

To be fair, a decent number of them were already pretty publicly lamenting it at the time as well, going on the record criticizing this cynical election strategy. (Not that they actually had the courage to go against him.)

Harris missed an opportunity on the border issue. She could of said “it’s simple, pass the bipartisan bill that Trump stopped” I’m not saying it will fix it, but it’s a good campaign.

That’s going to be the very first thing on the agenda after “repeal and replace Obamacare.”

Speak against the cult leader?! You can’t speak against the cult leader! All good things come to us from the leader! To speak against his wisdom and perfection is unholy! They who speak against the One True Lord are condemned to an eternity without his glory!

See how he provides for us? Delicious, wholesome Flavor Aid! Bottoms up, true believers!

I’m not paying a lot of attention to the campaigns, still, I have not heard her say that. She should be more like Trump, just keep repeating it. Trump did nothing for immigration. Oh and he didn’t do anything to help the economy. Repetition breeds familiarity

She absolutely has.

I don’t think doing anything “like trump” is a great idea. the problem isn’t her messaging, it’s the media. There are likely lots of things she wants to cover, policy wise. Just focusing on one issue isn’t particularly helpful, especially since for some, they’re already inclined to believe whatever Trump tells them about her and border policy.

And what Trump DID do on the border was to make it into a racist issue, and pretend like what was happening there was an “invasion” to justify ripping children out of the arms of their parents… he also pulled emergency funding to “build his wall”… he did some real bad shit on the border and will likely do WORST shit now, if he wins in November. Let’s not pretend like he won’t slaughter innocent people seeking asylum, because with the new powers SCOTUS gave him, he very much WILL do that.

They don’t even care if anyone finds out. Because a little song and dance can make sure their base sees it as fake news. And the more rational will see it as winning by any means necessary, which is on brand for fascists.
