Every Republican I know who has never (or will not admit to) voted for anything but Republicans, all, voted against Trump. Does not matter. Something like 90% of extremists do vote. So anyone who does not vote, therefore, let's extremists vote for them. I see no reason why Trump will lose in 2020. Numbers such as in 2018 say he will remain in office. Something extraordinary must happen (ie Democrats find a moderate who can match Trump insult for insult) for Trump to lose. None currently demonstrate that ability or are moderates. |

Insulting trolls is a fools errand. Find someone who excites moderates and progressives alike

I recall a writer discussing how he wrote jokes that The Don could use at a roast. The Don changed every joke to an insult. The writer noted that crowd behind Trump. With each insult, would strongly laugh. Insults, to them, was humor. Unfortunately, cerebral does not work with a majority of people. For the same reason Saddam had WMDs. The emotion, fear, and hate inspired and directed at Saddam was what most all heard. They did not hear the so many facts and numbers (cerebral logic) that accurately define it a myth. And that is a target audience. Does not matter how good that Democratic nominee is. He must learn to deal with what a majority hear. The guy who insults best is always better respected by so many less cerebral voters. If their guy's insults are accurately challenged (parried), then they do not get so excited. If the insults are not successfully challenged, then the power of those insults gets amplified by people such as Limbaugth and Hannity. One expert at this was Reagan. He could insult back and still look fatherly. He was expert at insulting without the associated negative aspects. (ie "There he goes again.") Biden cannot do that. He has always been too nice a guy. |

The good news is: how many military personnel we have abroad and where they're operating is being reassessed. The bad news is: it doesn't look like we're going to end any wars, only disengage from some low intensity conflicts. Below is a brief overview. The linked article points out concerns by theater of operations, far reaching ramifications, and mentions countries we're operating in, some of which may not readily come to mind.

We've got some very real problems figuring out why we fight and how to leave.The Afghanistan Papers have been quite a reminder of how fucked we are...

Not gonna investigate past the headlines, but something can be important AND not good. Heck, it can be important because it's not good.

Democrats have no Iowa caucus results, blame ‘coding issue’
Anything to blunt Bernie.
