2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Insane Scenario Unfolding Before Our Eyes [View all]I can't disagree with that too strenuously...
I won't bore you with all the things I think he's gotten right or the things I agree with him on. You have however identified why I've argued almost since the beginning of his presidency why his reelection is assured, despite all the disappointments some of us anticipated because of the things like the material in that link provided --- the fear of rightwingnuttery.
The reality is, this is another reason why all of this "repub insanity" stuff should come as no surprise to anyone, because it all flows from the comments from their congressional leadership about how their "#1 priority is to make him a one term president!".
That's why I've long thought and argued, that every ad pertaining to the economy he runs should use that as a lead in, if as seems to be the case, he wants to play the blame game, and use their intransigience and obstructionism as the proximate cause for the lack of remedial action on the economy.
There's no reason whatsoever why "The Big Truth" can't have the same impact as their "Big Lie" technique, so I'd be saturating the the airwaves with it until the electorates brain is permeated with it.
It would be like a criminal prosecutor harping on the known and uncontestable hate the indicted murderer had for the victim, to establish motive. And that's what they need to be framed and prosecuted as -- murderers of the economy -- because they are.
