The Netanyahu Playbook

April 10, 2019 at 9:09 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 0 Comments

"SNIP....

Roger Cohen: “His victory contains a warning for any Democrat still imagining that the 2020 election will bring an easy victory over Donald Trump. The Netanyahu playbook will be President Trump’s next year. Gather nationalist and religious voters in your camp, add in a strong economy, dose with fear, sprinkle with strongman appeal, inject a dash of racism and victory is yours — whatever indictments are looming.”

“It’s not that this could happen. It will happen, absent some decisive factor to upend the logic of it. Netanyahu is savvier than Trump, but they share a shrewd assessment of how to control and manipulate the politics of spectacle, as well as a fierce determination to stay out of jail. They campaign ugly.”

Stephen Collinson: “President Trump is celebrating Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israeli election victory like it’s his own — and in many ways, it is.”

A superpower leader handing him his agenda on a silver plate...many of the issues during the last 10 days.

Jerusalem Embassy (last spring)
Recognize Golan Heights
Turn your back on Bibi's WB settlement annexation plans.
Reinstate Iran sanctions
Label Iranian Republican Guard as a terrorist organization.

BiBi's message was "only I can deliver to you these things so don't play with fire...elect me again".

Trump won't have anyone to give him his agenda.

The point is still true - that we can't take 2020 for granted. But I don't think the Israel elections provide much of a blueprint.

It’s like trying to move Canada’s health care here, or danish worker’s unemployment policies... sounds good in theory. In practice... not so much
