Seeking election to a public office? Looking for political credibility? Are you a Democrat? No problem: Attack the Orange Monster!
Health care for illegal immigrants? Insist that President Trump is against affordable health care.
ICE deportation of migrant criminals? Insist that Trump’s Gestapo is rounding up “fathers, husbands and hard-working neighbors.”
Clean up crime-ridden, fentanyl-infested, drug-induced homelessness in our great cities? Insist that Trump is defying constitutional law, sending soldiers into our peaceful city streets.
Return corporate investment and good-paying manufacturing jobs to America? Insist that Trump’s stiff tariffs and trade-deal leverage is ruining the economy.
On Tuesday, the Democratic Party embraced a new trophy: Virginia’s blue team elected a new attorney general, the state’s supreme law enforcement officer. Imagine electing an attorney general who fantasized about shooting his political rival and having his opponent watch his children die in his wife’s arms.
No problem, if you’re a blue team, stop-Trump zealot.
Vote blue, no matter who!
