Politico ran a story quoting David Brock, who claims American Bridge (non-profit research organization) as having a massive quantity of opposition research on Trump.
While many hardcore Trump supporters and what Rush Limbaugh calls "low information voters" will selectively ignore this information, it could be significantly undermine Trump from the moderate/independent/average voters who may have casually decided to support Trump for vague reasons or because he is a TV star.
I hope the Democratic candidates and the DNC aggressively propagate this material, and I hope individuals like us DU'ers will do the same at the "water cooler" & etc.

Brock asserted that, if Trump does win the GOP nomination a bare-knuckles campaign is necessary to brand him as a greedy. misogynistic racist, and a danger to the Constitution, a menace to democracy, and a threat to the nation as a whole.

(4,835 posts)That's my biggest concern. It's kind of like Eddie Murphy in 'the distinguished gentleman': The name you know.
The most difficult thing to overcome in this day and age.

(3,967 posts)everyone already knows he is a sleazeball. oppo research won't depress his vote or get out hers. she needs to
1) be able to defend against his attacks so as not to lose her own support
2) provide a positive message that gets more of her supporters/anti-Trump Rs to go to the polls

(2,760 posts)Is that there's almost too much oppo reseach. If you use all of it, you run the risk of your message getting muddled. You have to be strategic about it and pick your battles.

Want to stop Trump? Bring back the Draft. Not a single person with military age kids, spouses or nieces and nephews would vote for that ass-clown.
Republicans not only nominated a turd...they've convinced themselves they can pick it up by the "clean end".
