Dems should run an asshole

like trump to win in 2020?

1. I have no clue what would work. It's so hard to know.

I guess that's why I have the bright blue D on the bottom of this thingy.

Everything is so effed up. How can we un eff it?

11. Not a one begins to meet your standards?

That must be very hard. As for how we unfuck it, the pros are paid to worry and plan, I get to play my big role 604 days from now.

Happily, I'm actually pretty sure any assholes will have fallen away long before then. I didn't realize it for decades, but there really is such a thing as common wisdom even if it's not reliably common in individuals. Suppose it's why we, "the people," haven't managed to destroy ourselves before the internet and megawealth started weighing in against us.

15. I think you misinterpreted my post. I am undecided and I don't know which

formula is the best to win. At this point the most important thing now is to win.

I like most of the candidates.

16. I sure did and so agree.

2. What then? We get another asshole as our president?

If Trump was a liberal and campaigned for universal health care, free college, gun control and fighting global warming, but constantly insulted people, lied all the time, conspired with a foreign adversary to get elected and used his presidency to make money for himself, would we vote for him? I wouldn't.

7. Yeah. That'll show 'em.

Jeezus.

(My comment is about your subject line. I fully agree with the body of your post.)

3. The cure we need

is a candidate who represents hemorrhoid cream to take care of the asshole, not another asshole.

4. I divorce assholes, I don't vote for them. nt

[Iggo]

5. I blame Trump on the people who voted for Trump.

I won't be one of them.

Ever.

6. Which of our candidates do you think is an asshole?

[comradebillyboy]

8. Probably best not to answer that question though.

9. No assholes on the Dem side so far...

just frustrated.

Apparently a segment of the electorate prefers politicians who'll turn over tables and burn down the house.

Maybe for VEEP?

Maybe Bernie comes closest. (Before you flame: he was my candidate in the primaries.)

10. Is there an asshole . . .

out there you had in mind?

[marylandblue]

12. We need the right kind of asshole. I've dealt with narcissists.

Sometimes you have to be an asshole right back to them. We need someone who knows when to be an asshole and when not to be.

BTW: I live in Washington state! Inslee my guv. 👍👍👍
