I Am Really And Truly Frightened By

Donald Trump Is The Least Unpopular Thing About Today's Republican Party. I Mean, The Idea That A Mitch Mcconnell Or A Paul Ryan Could Say, "let's Toss Trump Overboard And Return To Our Program Of Plutocratic Politics, Health Care Removal, Massive Income Tax Cuts For The Affluent, Deregulation Of Finance" - If They Cut Loose From Donald Trump, It's Like, You Know, Storm In Channel, Continent Cut Off. If They Cut Loose From Him, They Are Much Likelier To Sink.

A Generation Ago, Or Two, When There Were Three Channels, Plus Pbs, And When You Needed - When You Needed 15 Million People To Make A Living, The Media Could Focus On The Broad Country. And Most People Had No Choice About Getting Political Information. It Was There At 6:30 Whether You Wanted It Or Not.

The Habit Of Going To Your Congressman's Town Hall And Asking Questions, That's Powerful In A Way That Shouting Slogans Or Getting Arrested Is Not, That Is Completely Counterproductive.

Nobody Ever Won An Election By Spitting At His Political Opponents.

Anybody Who Imagines That An Election Can Be Won Under These Circumstances By Banging On About William Ayers And Jeremiah Wright Is ... To Put It Mildly ... Severely Under-estimating The Electoral Importance Of Pocketbook Issues. We Conservatives Are Sending A Powerful, Inadvertent Message With This Negative Campaign Against Barack Obama's Associations And Former Associations: That We Lack A Positive Agenda Of Our Own And That We Don't Care About The Economic Issues That Are Worrying American Voters.
