If you have trouble copying from the original web page, put the browser in Reader mode by tapping on the lines that are in front of the url up in the address bar. It enlarges the text, takes out some breaks and makes copying a ton easier.

(34,075 posts)If you really want people to read the article, the best way to do that is to post a snippet.
Posting a link = virtually no one follows the link
Posting a link + snippet = most will still just read the snippet (most DU members are still reluctant to do more than read the paragraph posted and jump to conclusions. That said, a well-chosen snippet is your best bet to entice some people to follow the link to read more.

(9,734 posts)Ms.Toad explained it very well. And if you peruse down thread youll see when the article is really hard hitting other DUers will post more paragraphs from the story so even if some dont click the link if they read the entire thread more of the article is there.
Plus I was posting to True Blue American about their inability to post excerpts from their iPad. No problem, Welcome to DU!

In the past three and a half years, since Trump descended on his escalator and announced he was running, her criticism of him has been withering and unremitting. On Twitter (where she has more than 54,000 followers), on Facebook (183,000 and counting), and in her columns, she has accused him of spewing racism and xenophobia to cheering crowds of white people. She has called him the most dangerous man running for president in our lifetimes. She has ripped him as a chronic and unapologetic liar. She has called his anti-democratic media-denigrating venom toxic and contagious. Earlier this month, when Trump said the closing of a GM plant in eastern Ohio doesnt really matter, Schultz seethed. Come to Lordstown and say that, she tweeted at the president. Tell all those Ohio families now facing potential ruin that what theyre going through doesnt really matter.

Every column an absolute gem. I just love her writing.
She grew up in Ashtabula, Ohio, about 50 minutes away from me. She went to Kent State the same time I was there. We share just about every opinion there is to share. I would definitely encourage all you DUers to start reading her columns.
