How can anyone tell you sorry lot how wrong you are!

That's an interesting question.

Look at the whole scope of this political forum. How's that tactic working?

OTOH, the political plot of telling a sorry lot of how Right (pun intended) they are, and need more Right, works pretty good.

That's simply conceit.

When the dems put forward a candidate that moves too the centre, forgets the identity politics BS and shows the required skillset, they will win.

Consider this as a demonstration of democracy in action:

The path to winning again begins here

Kind of, You need someone charismatic without the kind of baggage that Joe or Kamala had.
But you can still tell the truth.

The guy in the video talking about messaging and influencers didn't mention the need for a charismatic person, or lack of baggage and he never suggested that messaging and influence would be anything other than truth.

For one thing, as I've said before in several ways, much of the baggage on Dems, any Dem candidate, is fabricated/fomented with lies, hype and such from the Right, messaged and influenced. Trump is especially keen and good about it.

You guys on the right over value charisma, IMO, or at least the wrong kind of charisma. Take Reagan and Trump for examples - celebrities, actors, front men with backup from Rightist think tanks and orgs, like Heritage Foundation, etc.

In Trump's case it looks like he's just getting in the way a lot with his own screwed up ideas.

BTW, I read an article a day or two ago how Trump, DOJ, whatever, has distanced themselves from the Federalist Society and the Bar Association regarding several reasons, such as selection of lawyers to anoint as judges.

It's pretty easy to figure why they would do that. Trump prefers Fox to vet his appointees, for one thing.

Following up on the above post commenting on Trump's association with the Federalist Society, here's a article about the governance we deserve.

All Trump's BS about the Deep State was a smoke screen, and Trump is a loose cannon regarding the conservative's plan 50+ years in the making.

Trump’s War With Leonard Leo Could Expose a Conservative Legal Scam
The former Federalist Society power broker used the president to achieve judicial supremacy. Now all that work could get wrecked by the monster he turned loose.

Nothing about democrat v republican. He does mention the truth, and charisma.

And if you dont think its relevant too the Dems, Clinton V Gore. Barrack Obama v Hillary.

Dems baggage is fabricated?
So the Steele dossier was true, Hunters laptop false? The BLM riots never cost businesses money and all perpetrators punished? Biden didnt go against the officers on the ground, wishes in the afghan withdraw? Remember, Harris said she would have done nothing different.
These are all part of the Dems brand, in peoples mind.
The repubs. have their own list, but Kabob, you think none of these things are Dems fault and it's made up?

The Repugs villainized Hillary for forty years because they thought she was dangerous to their ideology. And that's one thing they were correct about. Remember Bengasi investigations, seven as I recall. Repugs admitted they were for the purpose of her destruction politically, not the truth.

The Steele dossier was not fabricated.

No one with any sense said the BLM riots didn't cost businesses money nor that all those involved were punished. Repugs made that up.

The commander chief often does and has the authority to not abide advice from officers on the ground.

No, I don't remember Harris saying she wouldn't have done anything different. You probably heard that on Fox.

Again, the Dem brand in some people's minds is made up and fomented for many years.

That's correct. It's not Dems' fault.

Hunter's laptop never proved what Repugs claimed - the connection to Joe. But they got the political damage they wanted. You are evidence of that.

Hillary decided she only had to campaign on the east and west coast. Bill told her to go to fly over country, she didnt.
Harris was asked ON THE VIEW what she would have done different. She said nothing. Look it up, stop going to your scapegoat, Fox news.
It doesnt matter if you think the steele dossier was real, it was proven false. You think the dems dont have a brand problem, the polls say otherwise, by the dem voters themselves. Harris spent her time with hollywood elites. Why not go to E palistine ohio, and tell the folks there she's sorry, she would treat them better.
More important for her to go on Opera.

The Steele Dossier was NOT proven false.

And yes, the Dems have a so-called brand problem, much of which is attributable to lies by the Right.

One example of the lies is the claim that the Steele Dossier was a lie.

The Steele Dossier: A Retrospective

Not all of the material in the dossier has been proven. But none has been disproven. As a raw intelligence document, the Steele dossier holds up well.
