ASYMMETRIC MESSAGING FOR DEMOCRATS


ASYMMETRIC MESSAGING FOR DEMOCRATS
(& SANE REPUBLICANS & INDEPENDENTS)
#WeHe #Asym

In the context of Bernie Sanders, I can argue why Hillary is the better candidate and better president. (As well as noting how influential Sanders, Sherrod, & Warren will be influencing Democratic legislation in the Senate.)

In the context of Kasich, Bush (any of 'em :-) ), Christie, Cruz, Paul, & Rubio, I can argue why Hillary is better. (For some, especially Cruz, that would be a trivial exercise.)

BUT FOR TRUMP & THE BANANA REPUBLICANS... a qualitatively different message is called for.

Because Trump is singularly, demonstrably unqualified in knowledge, experience, & temperament to be Commander in Chief of, and it bears repeating, the most powerful, nuclear-capable armed force in the history of the world.

So I have TWO lines of argument for the wisdom of supporting Hillary Clinton as President.

Sadly, in the case of Donald Trump, the second asymmetrical line of argument renders the conventional first line of argument for Hillary, on her merits, moot.

It's sad because the American people deserve to hear those arguments between a qualified Democrat and a qualified Republican on important foreign and domestic policy and because wonkish Hillary

Clinton is fully prepared to HAVE that discussion.

But it's the Republican's own fault for following Pied Piper Trump, who HAS no discernable policies (beyond "leave it to me") and the Banana Republicans off the cliff.
