Just saw some videos of Trump promising to "drain the swamp"... and it just hit me...

I never noticed this before.... he doesn't actually know what "draining the swamp" is SUPPOSED to mean metaphorically.

Instead of getting rid of people who don't play by the rules he thinks that "draining the swamp" means getting rid of the rules so that they can't be broken.

So, there now appears to me to have been a massive disconnect between him and his millions of voters. They thought he was campaigning against the evils of corruption when he was actually campaigning to end the technicalities of corruption to allow more evils. And I'm not sure he was actually deliberately deceiving them.

Did I miss something? What was so damaging to Hillary in those Wikileaks-hacked emails?

What exactly did they prove about the Clinton Foundation, for example?

Or did Julian Assange b.s. their contents when he shopped them to Stone, Trump Jr, et al?

Were they really worth going to prison over?

We need to sloganize better.

Not because intelligent people need such cheap tactics, but because stupid people decide their votes upon them.


"Stronger together" was ridiculously lame.

This time around I suggest "Take Out the Trash".

I've got to hand it to the Orange Piece of Shit

I acknowledge his callous perseverance, even though I can neither respect nor admire it.

I say that because ....given Mueller circling around him, the Stormy Daniels affair, the other prostitutes who are coming forward, the forced subservience to Vladimir Putin, the emoluments suit, the obesity, the leaks, the bad poll numbers, etc., etc., etc...... a smart, moral person would have already had a nervous breakdown. I think it takes a special sort of stupid evil to be hanging in there.
