In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore's epic fail preserved in twitter: Crowing about the big crowds expected for Trump [View all]betsuni
(25,376 posts)75. He promotes the myth of Democrats as snobby elites, that Democrats don't inspire
voters because of their policies, that the Democrats are just "I'm not Trump":
"Don't get all smug laughing at these Bubbas in Tulsa today ... . They live, eat and breathe Trump -- and none of us do that with Joe Biden. We're counting on hatred of Trump -- not love of Biden -- to win the day. Is that how you really think -- hate beats love? ... Because deep down we know there's no massive intense love of Joe Biden, no one is all dreamy and jazzy when they think about Joe Biden's jobs plan, Joe Biden's health care plan ... ."
He's trying to make it about one person, not the Democratic Party. Not going to work this time!

It wasn't an epic fail. He's right. If it's not winnable by trump, it's most definitely stealable.
