Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: In 1987, Sanders said JFK made him nauseous. [View all]booley
(3,855 posts)56. Maybe we should not base our strategy around what a liar may say?
Seriously, what would that attack look like?
Oh, Gods Sanders didn't want Nuclear war?! He was ahead of the curve on History?!! AGAIN?! The Monster!
How many think the Cuban Missile Crisis was a good thing? (Assuming they remember it at all)
. trump's base hates communism and socialism and so this ad would be very effective
Putting aside that most of Trumps base are unlikleyt obe big JFK fans, Trump's base doesn't know what communism nor socialism is. It is an attack used on every Democrat who has ever run since FDR. Remember when Obama was both a Communist and a Fascist at the same time? The socialism attack isn't based on reason so thinking reason would counter it is just.. silly
If however, we are worried about giving Trump an attack. Voters still remember the Iraq war. They still remember the bankruptcy bill. They still remember NAFTA. They still remember how Wal Street almost destroyed the economy. Those things are bit more relevant to peoples lives. They are probably thinking more about those things than an event that happened before many were born.
Seriously, it's not the 60s

The Cuban Missile crisis could have been avoided. U.S.policy towards Cuba brought the missiles.
