On the attack!
Is it effective? Only a few persuadable voters matter
in a few swing states. The argument that Trump
SAYS one thing to his voters and then DOES the opposite
to benefit his major donors might resonate with those
persuadable voters.
But the money might have been spent more effectively on
the Senate races in 2020.

Biden pros and cons.
Will 92% of Republicans vote Republican as usual? Is the

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/26/joe-biden-is-candidate-other-people-is-that-enough/
Unfortunately, the presidential election is all about a
few persuadable voters in a few battleground states.
Rahm Emanuel warns against competing on Trump's terms -

The senate elections are really more important, and the
tactics are different in each state. The most important
thing is to show persuadable voters that although Trump
TALKS as though he loves them, he ACTS for his wealthy
donors, and the a Democrat Senate will actually DO more
of the things those persuadable voters want done.

He's too old, but perhaps least threatening to the
relatively few voters that can make a difference.
Perhaps more important though, is which Democratic
candidate can pull the most Democratic senate candidates
to victory?

McConnell doesn't allow impeachment to distract and
divert him.
He's cruising along on schedule.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/18/politics/senate-mcconnell-judges/index.html
And if a Supreme Court vacancy arises, he certainly won't
wait for the next election to act!
That's why the Democratic presidential candidates are
wasting their time talking about each other instead of
about the 2020 Senate elections. That's what they need
to fire up the independents and the moderate and radical
Democrats. It won't matter who is elected president if
the Republicans are still in control of the Senate.

Is Mayor Pete too young?
Young people have a likeability problem similar to that
of women. So young women candidates probably have
it worse, but some overcome it - to shine like AOC, or,
sometimes, to flame out like Katie Hill. So being
young is not insurmountable.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/14/opinion/sunday/is-pete-buttigieg-just-too-young-to-be-president.html
Or too aggressive?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/us/politics/pete-buttigieg-2020.html
Or too corporate?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/opinion/pete-buttigieg.html
The fundamental question here is should presidential
candidates campaign on what they WOULD do if they
controlled both houses of Congress, or what they CAN
do with the Congress they will get? That's the
difference between extreme and moderate Democrats.
And that's why all the Democratic presidential candidates
should be talking more about the Senate and House and
less about each other.

holy word.

The problems with Sanders - and Warren.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/opinion/bernie-sanders-multiracial-workers.html
Increasing the enthusiasm and turnout in blue states is
irrelevant because of -
the first problem - the White House is not awarded
according to a national popular vote where every vote has
equal weight. The winner-take-all laws in 48 out
of 50 states mean that only a few persuadable voters in
a few battleground states matter.
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
That's why all the Democratic candidates should state that
they will support whichever one of them wins the nomination
and focus on -
the second problem - nothing radical happens with less
than 60 votes in the Senate, and Democrats are hoping for
but not assured for getting 51 - a net increase of 4, out
of 23 seats in contention. So all the Democratic
candidates should talk about what they think they can
actually get through the Senate in the next two years.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html
The third problem with Sanders and Warren - and Biden and
Trump and Bloomberg - is that they are all too old for
the toughest job in the world. Take another look at
Booker, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar.

Can Booker break through?

The Democratic debates are indeed going in the wrong
direction. They should be emphasizing the common
goals rather than dissecting differences. The big
money should be supporting the former rather than the
latter.

How to lose the White House AND both houses of Congress!
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/07/us/politics/democrats-2020.html
Democratic presidential candidates should disband the
circular firing squad, announce that they will support the
Democratic presidential candidate no matter who it is, and
focus their starpower and firepower on the 23 Senate races
in 2020 and educating casual voters about how American
government works - it's not vote for president and be done.
Nothing changes without a concerted effort to gain control
of the Senate, retain control of the House, and gain as
many governorships and state legislatures as possible.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html
Then make as many democracy-enhancing structural changes
as possible.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/democracy.html
Nothing less can mitigate the rural bias of the
Constitution.
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
If still undecided by then, let the Democratic convention
choose presidential and vice-presidential nominees based
on how effective they were in this effort.

The pain of getting real.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/06/scary-part-about-narrowing-democratic-field/
Indeed, if the economy continues to do as well as it's
doing today, for just another year, Trump may well win
the electoral college vote again. The presidential
election is a crap shoot about the economy.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/us/politics/trump-economy-impeachment.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/upshot/jobs-report-economic-growth-potential-inflation.html
That's why it might be more provident for the presidential
candidates to talk about the Senate candidates - who will
really make the difference in whether anything changes.

It's winning because it appeals to middle and working
class Democrats, Republicans, and independents. True,
it doesn't poll that well with wealthy political donors,
but that's a feature, not a bug.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/05/new-poll-suggests-winning-message-democrats/
These are the issues the Democratic presidential candidates
should be using to attack Republicans in the Senate and
House and in state elections.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html
The Republican, Trumpist, and Putinist response is always
to distract and divide with wedge issues. If the
Democrats play that game, especially with each other during
the primaries, they'll get what they deserve.

Who's playing the long game here?
Lacking any other options, the Republicans seem to be
playing a short game of fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
But that's also Putin's long game to undermine western
democracy - "everybody does it" and "who
can tell what's true anyway."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/anarchy-is-trumps-only-tactic/2019/12/03/07a671ae-1608-11ea-8406-df3c54b3253e_story.html

The presidential election is becoming less important.
It doesn't matter who the president is, if Putinism
controls the Senate - and they only need 41 votes to stop
anything they don't like. This should be topic #1
for Democratic presidential candidates.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html
At this point only a few Republican senators are pushing
back against Putinism. Maybe they can talk themselves
into voting "present" for conviction and removal.

She might be a good choice for attorney general or vice
president - say for a presidential nominee who is a rich
old white man or a young white man, to pick a couple of
examples at random - and if she stays in the Senate, that
will be good too, although California seats in the Senate
are pretty well guaranteed Democratic until California

Klobuchar picks up steam.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/26/us/politics/amy-klobuchar-2020.html
Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Booker are all in pretty much
the same niche ideologically, so it's hard to see that
they can all keep their campaigns going.
So where does Bloomberg fit in? Can he buy the
nomination?

But all the Democratic candidates can serve a useful
purpose -

How Bloomberg can put his millions to good use!
Buy a 30-minute ad on Fox News, just before or after
Fox and Friends, and put on 23 Democratic presidential
candidates (current or recent) to talk one minute each
on each of the 23 Republican Senate seats up for election
in 2020. Fox is only in it for the money - they'll bite
if the money is right.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html
The idea is for each Democratic candidate to quickly
summarize where each Republican incumbent or hopeful
really stands on the issues important to average voters,
including Fox voters.
The Democrats do not debate or attack each other; it's
all focused on the Republican senators, with specifics on
what each one really votes for, and how each is enabling
Putinism. The Democratic hopefuls demonstrate their
presidential qualities by how they discuss their opponents.
https://www.mikebloomberg.com/
OR Bloomberg could just buy Fox News and let the purveyors
of lies find new employment with RT.
OR....

Role of minor Democratic presidential candidates?
Bloomberg's entry COULD be a good thing!
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/us/politics/bloomberg-ads-2020-race.html
If Bloomberg spends his millions telling people what's
wrong with Trump and what the positive change any
Democratic government could bring, that would be a good
thing.
End dark money in politics! End gerrymandering and
voter suppression! Reduce rural bias! Elect state
legislators and governors committed to fair districting!
Elect a 60-vote Democratic Senate majority! Send all
the Trump enablers to retirement homes.
If he spends all his money promoting himself and
bad-mouthing the other Democratic candidates, he will ust
be a poster child for why we don't need any more old rich
white men in politics.
And that goes for the other minor candidates. Each has
a particular story to tell. If they can stick to
telling their story against Putin/Trumpism and for their
particular version of the Democratic program, that's
good; if they waste ammunition on the other Democratic
candidates, they' will just be poster children for why we
have too many Democratic presidential candidates.

It's not easy being Obama -
trying to keep focused on the big picture while the party
and nation are consumed with the details.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/22/barack-obamas-uneasy-role-primaries/
The Democratic primary is not the big picture - even Trump
is not the big picture. California Democrats are for
anybody who can beat Trump -
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-21/skelton-ppic-poll-trump-impeachment-democrats
But the big picture is unlimited dark money in politics,
gerrymandering and voter suppression, social media and
broadcast technology used by foreign and domestic interests
to amplify conflict, and the rural bias of American
federalism. These are the things that make all
the rest of the Democratic agenda difficult to accomplish -
the moderate agenda as well as the radical agenda.
The short-term agendas include challenging gerrymandering
in state courts, electing fair-minded state legislators
to enact fair districts, and electing as many Democratic
senators as possible - moderate or radical, depending on
who's electable in each state, but all of them are better
than the Trumpist alternatives. Anybody who can't
see any difference has some strange hidden agenda.
Talking about structural reforms puts most voters to sleep,
but those reforms are the pre-requisite for getting all
the things most voters want. Wake up!
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-27/obama-partisan-gerrymandering-redistricting-u-initiative
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/obama-cautions-at-salesforce-convention-that-societys-at-a-dangerous-moment-because-of-information-tech-2019-11-21
In some ways Obama is conservative - but Trumpists can't
see that because he is black. In contrast, Trump is the
dangerous radical - but Trumpists can't see that because
they think they will benefit from dangerous radicalism of
a rich old white guy.

Public education is not important to Trump's base.
By catering only to that base, Trumpists will continue
to push the educated suburbs toward the Democrats, as
this month's elections showed. Same for health and
gun violence.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/19/opinion/republicans-suburbs-education.html
Perhaps the Republicans need to really lose by a
Goldwater-scale landslide before they can adjust their
orientation from roiling their base to welcoming a broader
coalition. That's likely after the next recession
starts; if not 2020, then 2022 or 2024.
The Republican future is already here in California -

It's entirely possible that Warren or Sanders could make

Sounds like the kind of Trumpist who will discover that
she was really an anti-Trumpist all along.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/11/11/nikki-haleys-real-disclosure-concerns-about-trumps-dangerousness-went-right-top/
She'll make that discovery whenever it's convenient.
She leaves a few scattered crumbs she can point to if
needed. That's as Trumpist as it gets. And until
then, she's pretty much all in with Trump.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/nikki-haley-claims-top-aides-tried-to-recruit-her-to-save-the-country-by-undermining-trump/2019/11/10/f92bac88-0267-11ea-9518-1e76abc088b6_story.html
It's familiar to people who remember the startling number
of Vietnam hawks who discovered that they were really

She says she's devoting her energy to re-electing Trump.
Remember that if she decides to run in 2024.

One can imagine the pain she recalls of being classified as
neither white nor black in school. People from south
Asia often have darker skins than Europeans, but their
hair and facial features are often more European than
African or East Asian. That's confusing for racists.

He is the candidate most likely to get under Trump’s
paper-thin skin.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/bloomberg-has-a-narrow-path-to-winning-but-hell-sure-get-under-trumps-skin/2019/11/08/8699b6e8-024d-11ea-8501-2a7123a38c58_story.html
The world doesn't need another 77-year-old billionaire
white guy running for president. But if he can bug the
hell out of Trump, maybe it's worth having him in the mix.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/08/opinion/bloomberg-running-for-president-2020.html
There are better ways for him to spend his money for
America -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/10/all-things-bloombergs-money-could-be-better-spent/
But Buttigieg, Harris, and Klobuchar each have more to
offer the average American, each in their own particular
ways. Who can tell how it will all turn out?
Anybody but Trump. Pence would be better than Trump.
But the Democrats can surely nominate somebody better
than Pence!
The question for all the Democratic presidential hopefuls
is - what kind of progress do they realistically think they
can achieve with less than 60 votes in the Senate? Even if
the Democrats gain a majority and McConnell is retired,
the Republicans will choose somebody else to be their
Grim Reaper to stand in the doorway and block up the hall.
Republican senators pretty much gave up on bipartisanship
12 years ago and don't show any signs of changed hearts.

Black Voices for Trump
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-atlanta-trump-rallies-black-supporters-ahead-of-2020-despite-polls-showing-anemic-support-among-african-americans/2019/11/08/2ecffa9e-0248-11ea-8bab-0fc209e065a8_story.html
Brings to mind a 1964 interview in Newsweek, of a person
described as the head of the very exclusive sounding
group, Negroes for Goldwater. That group doesn't
seem to show up in a google search, so it might not have
lasted long.
Perhaps, as the article suggests, the real audience was
white Trumpists who would like to have some evidence
that he's not a racist. By their fruits shall ye
know them. And by their friends.

Another way to support Trumpists.
Staying home, voting for third parties, voting for
independents - all ways of saying Trumpists aren't
that bad.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/08/us/slavery-black-immigrants-ados.html
Putin would agree - the more fractured the American
electorate, the better.
But the most electable way to improve the economic outlook
of every faction is to improve the economic outlook of all.
And even if you don't like the Democratic presidential
candidate, it's still important to vote on the rest of
the races on the ballot.
As for the presidential election, as always it will be
decided by a relatively few people. It's important
that they feel included by the Democratic program rather
than excluded - and that applies to each segment of the
persuadable electorate.

And in the Virginia legislature -

Trump has roused his base as far as it can be roused.

He doesn't think he needs anybody else. Independents and
centrists are figuring that out.

Primary and caucus voters usually look different from
general election voters - older and more conservative.
That's one argument against primaries and caucuses.
But right now, it looks like it doesn't matter much who
the Democrats nominate.

what's important to you - take a stand and vote! Control
of state government has profound national consequences,
especially for redistricting.

Four ideas on Democratic paths to victory against Trump.
Focus on the persuadables in the center -
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/01/opinion/2020-election-democrats.html
Focus on youth and minority turnout -
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/01/opinion/democratic-party-base-2020.html
Focus on corruption and its effects on voters, not
personality -
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/01/opinion/trump-2020-election.html
Focus on social media -
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/01/opinion/democrats-2020-election-online.html
All of the above is not an answer, by itself - the question
is how you allocate time and money to each of these paths.
And winning a majority in the Senate, which is really
more important, is going to require different paths in
each battleground state.
Of course, the surest answer is focus on the recession if
it's becoming obvious and painful well before election day.

Elite negligence in the face of national decline?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/opinion/trump-impeachment.html
He's right about one thing - impeachment and even removal
won't much change the lives of the people whose prospects
are declining. They think nobody is listening to
them -
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/opinion/white-nationalists-racists-rural.html
That's not true. Sanders and Warren have big plans that
would change their lives for the better - and the other
Democratic candidates have smaller plans for improvement -
but none of them are going to happen with the Senate we're
likely to have for the next two years. The elite
that is negligent about the people whose prospects are
declining is the dark-money fueled Republican legislators
that these declining populations keep re-electing because
the candidates say whatever it takes to frighten the voters
into voting for the status quo.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/theory.html#political%20ideology%20for%20the%20masses
Frighten them about firearms, frighten them about
reproductive rights, frighten them about Castro, frighten
them about taxes - and frighten them about losing their
rural bias that keeps the negligent elite running the show.

Control of the Senate.
For decades, the question of who controlled the Senate
has been more consequential than who controlled the White
House. But it's been hard to get the average voter as
interested in Senate races, much less House seats. The
2018 election was an anomaly due to the Trump resistance.
In 2020, 23 Republican senators are up for re-election.
To become the majority party again, the Democrats have
to have a net gain of 4 - that sounds barely possible.
To have a filibuster-proof majority, then would need a
net gain of at least 13 and a couple more for insurance
would help. But that's not going to happen.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/31/meet-democrat-who-may-take-next-democratic-president-hostage/
In West Virginia, they take the Democrats they can elect.
Consider the typical alternative -

He shouldn't expect much help from Trump, so he probably
doesn't have a prayer in the primary - it being Alabama,
and one of his opponents being an Auburn football coach.

Social media are perfect channels for narrowcasting fake
news to those who are likely to believe it and act on it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/20/us/elections/trump-campaign-ads-democrats.html
People say they want less divisiveness and negative
campaigning, but positive and truthful messages are not
nearly as effective for the campaigner and profitable
for the platform. As with the case of television,
its early promise of economically and widely broadcasting
knowledge became, especially after repeal of the Fairness
Doctrine, a much more profitable medium for narrowcasting
propaganda.
But hardly anything changes minds much in partisan
general elections.
stanford.edu/~dbroock/published%20paper%20PDFs/kalla_broockman_minimal_persuasive_effects_of_campaign_contact_in_general_elections_evidence_from_49_field_experiments.pdf
So it seems that disinformation campaigns originating
at home or from abroad are intended less to persuade
the targets than to immunize them against rational
persuasion. The RNC and Putin seem to consider
funding such immunization to be money well spent. And in
the RNC case, money well invested since it generates a
sizeable return in donations and merchandise sales.

Gabbard strikes back -

But she does have an odd array of supporters, many outside
the Democratic Party -
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/us/politics/tulsi-gabbard.html

The Russians will certainly support any third party and
independent candidate that might be able to pull support
from the Democratic candidate and thus re-elect Trump.
Putin's purposes are probably best served if Trump wins
by 1 or 2 electoral votes, or loses by 1 or 2 votes, or
the election goes to the House. Any of these would
precipitate a constitutional crisis.
But the usual suspects in the Republican Party can be
expected to support anti-Trump independent and third party
candidates and that's a bigger concern. Dark money
in politics has got to stop.

Trump's greatest political sin - driving away everybody
but his hard-core base.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/18/more-bad-news-survival-republican-party/
His base is aging and is not a long term plan for
Republicans.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/21/trouble-trump-gops-longterm-prospec/
How many Republicans are going to hold their noses and vote
Democratic? How many are going to try to continue
to dodge responsibility by staying home or voting for a
third party or independent?

“The only important thing is the unification of
the people — because the other people don’t mean
anything.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/opinion/liberalism-trump.html
The next president, no matter who, must be president
of all the people, and more important but harder, must
be SEEN and BELIEVED to be president of all the people.
Is there a feasible solution to that problem?

Democratic debate.
The salient fact to remember - that nobody mentioned - is
that no matter what, the Democrats will not have 60 seats
in the Senate in 2021. McConnell or a thinkalike will
revert to obstructing progress from a minority position
rather than a majority. So candidates who think they
can fight their way through that are delusional.
Buttigieg seemed to have his finger on the key strategic
issue - what happens the day after Trump's last day as
president, whether that's in five days or five years.
In order to make progress, it's going to be necessary to
get some Republican senators to go along, by eloquence
or by carrot or by stick. Klobuchar seems to have a
realistic idea of what's involved with that. Booker
also projected a conciliatory tone, though his position
on issues was not as clearly defined.
Apparently Sanders will be endorsed by AOC and the rest of
the squad. That would be a dream come true for Trump
- the Republican dirty tricks crew will probably do their
utmost to make that happen, no doubt with the help of their
global network of helpers. And Trump will run against
Sanders and the squad, and the Bidens and Hillary Clinton,
no matter who the actual Democratic nominee is.
Warren simply would not speak frankly about cost of
medicare for all, or why medicare for all who want it
wouldn't work.
Biden (and Sanders, and perhaps Warren) is too old.
Yang and Steyer are one-trick ponies. Harris and
Castro were not impressive. O'Rourke is not ready for
the big time. Gabbard has too many strange ideas.
Would the generic candidate please stand up?

An ugly night
Inside -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/10/11/trump-somali-refugees-minneapolis-rally/
Outside -
http://www.startribune.com/protesters-start-arriving-leading-up-to-trump-rally-in-minneapolis/562749432
There's no point trying to outdo the Trumpists. Nobody
on either side at a Trump really is going to change their
mind. Any effect will be on the television audience -
and the only part that matters is the voters who might vote
either way - who made the difference in 2016 and in 2018.
So get a big crowd and keep it positive and peaceful,
and avoid provocateurs whether well-meaning or not.

Counting cattle.
Trumpists like this map as if it had some cosmic
significance.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1178989254309011456/photo/1
If electoral votes were awarded for cattle, it might.
But all it tells you is that farmers and ranchers vote
Republican. The map would be about the same for every
presidential election since at least 1952, including those
that Johnson, Clinton, and Obama won, not to mention Nixon.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/10/trump-2016-election-map-county-population/599335/
Farmers and ranchers vote Republican, but it wouldn't
matter much except for the rural bias in our Constitution -
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
They vote Republican because they are used to being
self sufficient and don't need the Federal government
for anything. Anything EXCEPT vital NATIONAL
SECURITY programs like agricultural price supports,
ethanol subsidies, and subsidized water from and grazing
on Federal land.
Their rural neighbors are also keen on subsidized logging
and mining on Federal land. Economists have a word
for all these subsidies - "welfare payments" -
but farmers and ranchers don't like that word.
They don't think they like Medicaid either, though it's the
only thing keeping many rural health care systems solvent -
https://www.aafp.org/news/blogs/freshperspectives/entry/20190109fp-ruralhospitals.html
And one more pillar of the farming economy in some places
is an abundance of easily exploitable illegal immigrant
labor. We'll see how farmers feel about Trumpism if
Stephen Miller ever accomplishes his goals in eliminating
immigration.

The Pence enigma.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/27/books/review/piety-and-power-tom-lobianco.html
Pence does have one qualification that Trump never will -
he knows how to play on a team. Never having worked
for anybody else leaves Trump tone-deaf on a number
of fronts. But is being a good team player enough for
Pence to make captain?
Pence would have promoted all the traditional Republican
initiatives more effectively than Trump, and by being
less polarizing to women, minorities, and the educated,
he might not have lost the midterms. But he doesn't
rouse up the Trumpiest part of the Trump base who hope
that Trump would shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue so they
can too. They might make the margin of difference in many
2020 elections. That Trumpiest base, used to being
the center of presidential attention, might not react
well to being returned to their traditional storage in a
dark closet of Republicanism. They might act out their
resentment by staying home or supporting third party or
independent candidates, insuring a Democratic sweep of
the presidency and Congress.

The Republican quandary.
Most Republican politicians are self-serving opportunists
like Trump. They are NOT willing to go down with a
sinking ship. But if the economy sinks perceptibly
before the election, they will lose most of the persuadable
voters they were counting on, and the sinking Trumpist
ship will take a lot of down-ballot Republicans with it.
To avoid that, the Republicans in Congress could decide
to impeach Trump now - there's more than enough basis
- as quickly as possible, and blame any subsequent
recession on Trump - there's more than enough basis -
rather than President Pence, and ice the cake by nominating
somebody else in 2020. They certainly have no lack
of prospects willing to nominate reactionary judges,
deregulate donor industries, and reduce taxes on the donor
class, without any Trumpist baggage.
The worst case would be for the recession to really hit
public consciousness between the Republican convention and
the election - and August/September/October is a dangerous
season for the stock market. With Trump renominated
there would be no escape from sinking.
Tough choices - IF there is going to be an impeachment,
conviction, and removal, the sooner the better for the
Republicans, to maximize their recovery time. IF there
is going to be an impeachment, conviction, and removal,
they want it to be just about Trump, rather than the
whole Republican party. If there is no impeachment,
conviction, and removal, Republicans have to take their
chances on the timing of the next recession, which
might be triggered by any number of events over which
they have no control. What's certain is that if the
Republicans in Congress decide to impeach, convict, and
remove, it will happen practically overnight, and they
will emphatically deny the possibility of impeachment,
conviction, and removal, right up through the day before.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/25/watch-senate-republicans/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-has-done-plenty-to-warrant-impeachment-but-the-ukraine-allegations-are-over-the-top/2019/09/20/51eff90c-dbf1-11e9-bfb1-849887369476_story.html
The Democratic strategy might be just the opposite -
prolong the impeachment inquiries until next summer,
Benghazi style, to maximize the inconvenient timing of
an impeachment vote, between the time Trump gets enough
delegate votes to be renominated, and the Republican
convention, so that if the Trumpist ship sinks, it takes
as many Republicans as possible with it. But the force
of current events may rule out waiting until summer.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/22/us/politics/trump-impeachment-whistle-blower.html
Of course, there might be another strategy in play.
Trump has refused to confirm that he will ask Mike Pence
to run again in 2020.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/09/is-trumps-long-suffering-vp-in-danger-of-getting-bounced
Trump advisers and donors might be working to have a
promotable VP in place in case it's necessary to impeach
Trump in 2021 or 2022, to minmize midtern losses in
midrecession - somebody like Nikki Haley who can credibly
deny responsibility for that recession. But not
everybody is willing to wait that long.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-takeover-of-gop-forces-many-house-republicans-to-head-for-the-exits/2019/09/22/d89f99fc-d4bd-11e9-ab26-e6dbebac45d3_story.html
Someday there will be an opera about Trump. What to
call it?
A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine
Too bad the rights are already taken, but they are no
doubt for sale for the right price.

Straight talk from a candidate with nothing to lose -
and nothing to gain.
Whatever you think of Mark Sanford, he addresses the
issues he cares about more directly than the candidates
that think they have a chance.
https://beta.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/13/interview-with-mark-sanford/
If a recession becomes palpable soon enough, the three
stooges might help turn the Trumpist convention back into a
Republican convention. But by then it will be too late
- the Democrats will rightly blame the Republicans for not
deTrumping in time to save themselves. The Democrats will
continue to run against Trump even if he's not the nominee.
Just like Trump is still running against Clinton.
One question is how much economic slowdown has the
political effect of a recession -

McCarthy said that if Republicans retake the House
majority, the “first thing we would do is make sure our
debt is taken care of. This is continuing to grow.”
Just in case you have trouble translating, he means
Medicare and Social Security. And he doesn't mean
increasing taxes to fund them.
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-09-06/hiltzik-republican-ernst-gutting-social-security
The Republicans still seem to think that their old playbook
of running against Hillary Clinton and the Squad will
restore their control of the House.

But the real threat is a recession, and while Trump
desperately wants to postpone it past the election, his
policy vacillations just undermine business confidence and
ultimately consumer confidence, hastening the recession.

At first it looked good for McCready in NC-09, but now it
looks like Bishop has won by 2.1%. Those who voted
their conscience for the Green and Libertarian candidates
can rest easy - the combined G+L vote wouldn't have made
any difference one way or the other. The stayathomes
- it's hard to tell. Congratulations to those Greens
and Libertarians who held their noses and voted for the
lesser of two evils, whichever one they thought that was,
although it's hard to know whether it made any difference.

If this keeps up, and especially if a severe recession
starts due to lack of business confidence followed by
lack of consumer confidence, the Republicans might be the
ones to initiate impeachment in order to have a better
foundation for 2020.

==========
The moral statement made by voting for neither in a tossup
election - with particular reference to non-Trumpist
Republicans in NC-09.
In elections that are not in doubt, go ahead and vote your
conscience - it won't affect the election outcome but might
be important to the viability of your third party,
depending on the laws of your state.
But in elections that are a tossup between a Trumpist and a
Democrat, voting for neither, or not at all, is an
abdication of moral responsibility. Like it or not, it's
morally the same as voting for the eventual winner. Is
that really what you want?
One has to feel a bit sorry for traditional Republicans who
are not Trumpists. The Trumpist train has left the
station, taking for itself the name and structure of the
Republican party. Take it from Brad Parscale -
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/07/california-repubilcans-2020-reboot-1484589
- "The Trumps will be a dynasty that lasts for
decades".
So the traditional Republicans who are not Trumpists are
left standing on the station. They don't want to vote
for a Trumpist, and they don't want to vote for a
Democrat. But voting for neither helps the ultimate
winner - who can't be predicted in advance - that's why
it's a tossup. Voting for neither is morally equivalent to
voting for the ultimate winner. Is that really what you
want?
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-nc-09.html
If what you really want is to enable third-party and
independent candidates to participate more meaningfully in
American politics, that's a very worthwhile long term
structural project -

Turnout will decide Tuesday's election in NC-09.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-north-carolina/north-carolina-congressional-do-over-watched-for-clues-to-2020-idUSKCN1VJ2BL
Unlike a presidential election, in a congressional
election every vote counts the same. Staying home is a
vote too. Do you really think there's no difference in
the candidates? Then you can't complain about the outcome.
In 2016, 78,000 stay-at-homes elected Trump.
So what are the differences you might care about?

In 2016, 78,000 stay-at-homes elected Trump.
So what are the differences you might care about?
Vote for a Trumpist like Dan Bishop if you believe -
1) a good way to improve the lives of working people is
to cut taxes for the very rich.
2) a good way to improve the lives of working people is
to deregulate Wall Street in order to empower it.
3) a good way to improve the lives of working people
is to pack the Federal courts with as many reactionary,
pro-business judges as possible.
4) your medical care is your own responsibility alone.
5) mass shootings have nothing to do with weapons designed
for mass shootings.
6) a strong economy is based on unpredictable rapid changes
of direction to confuse our enemies - and friends.
7) a good way to improve America's security is to insult
our long-time allies and embrace our long-time enemies.
8) in saying one thing to the voters and something
different to the big campaign donors, then delivering for
the donors.
9) in institutionalized minority rule.
10) American government is rotten to the core and the best
thing would be to tear it all down and let Wall Street
run the country.
11) there's no such thing as objective reality, facts,
or logic; only your feelings matter, so you might as well
accept the reality that Dear Leader feels.
Vote for a Democrat like Dan McCready if you believe -
1) a good way to improve the lives of working people is
to cut taxes for working people.
2) a good way to improve the lives of working people is
to preserve regulation of Wall Street in order to empower
working people.
3) a good way to improve the lives of working people is to
have as many progressive, pro-labor judges in the Federal
courts as possible.
4) government should help make affordable medical care
available to anybody who needs it.
5) the second amendment protects your right to firearms
for personal protection and hunting, not mass shootings.
6) a strong economy is based on predictable evolutionary
change that supports planning by American business.
7) a good way to improve America's security is to embrace
our long-time allies who share our values and oppose our
long-time enemies who despise our values.
8) unlimited dark money in politics is bad for democracy.
9) in majority rule respecting the rights of the minority.
10) America is a work in progress whose ideals are a light
to the world that can become even brighter.
11) there is object external reality that operates whether
we feel like it or not, and effective government seeks to
understand and deal with it.
Reasons to vote third-party or independent or stay home -
1) You can't tell any difference between the above choices
so you don't care whether Trumpists or Democrats win.

Unless, of course, there is a recession that is widely
felt by election time; then Trump will surely lose.
That's why he's so anxious about the economy.

70 is too old.
Biden, Sanders, and Trump clearly peaked some time ago.

Elizabeth Warren still seems to be on top of her game,
but will she still be after 8 presidential years = 16
normal years?
Woodrow Wilson was crippled by a stroke when he was
63 - although he had suffered earlier lesser strokes.
Still it took almost 50 years for Congress to propose the
25th amendment.

Whose playbook?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/opinion/republicans-obama-campaign-playbook.html
It's true that the Trumpists are working very hard at
turnout. They want to make sure that all of their
potential voters hear that it's either Trump and his
enablers, or the Squad - and guns confiscated, abortion
on demand, open borders, higher taxes, friendship with
Castro's Cuba (a single issue for some voters in Florida, a
swing state). Whether the actual Democratic candidate
actually supports any of those ideas is not relevant
to the Trumpist story. The Trumpists will not tell
their potential voters about tax cuts for the rich and
eliminating Obamacare, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social
Security, deregulating consumer protection and labor
protection - they only talk about that behind closed
doors with the donors who are funding the voter outreach.
So it's true that Democrats need to maximally energize
their base turnout for the general election. But
that's not enough. In the swing districts that
might go either way, those who voted for Obama and then
Trump are just as critical. They made the difference
in 2016 and then again in the opposite direction in 2018.
Every swing district is different, but all of them will
be better served by a Democrat than a Trumpist, even if
it's not the kind of Democrat that can win in a reliably
Democratic district.
For the presidential election, it's rather different.
The way the Electoral College works, relatively few voters
in relatively few states make the difference. In those
places, it's still essential to get the base to turn out
instead of tune out - the Trumpists will! But it's also
essential to make sure that the swing voters understand the
real issues and have a palatable alternative to Trumpism.
People only slightly connected to politics get excited
about the presidential election. And it seems
to be characteristic of presidential candidates to assume
and promise that they can accomplish great feats despite
Congress, disappointing the voters who believed them.
It's important to find a way to carry that excitement
to Congressional and state races, which are really more
important in terms of accomplishing real change.
In a way, it's all irrelevant if there is a palpable
recession next year. That's why Trump is so adamant
about deficit spending and cheap money.

Staying home is a vote too.
Do you really think there's no difference in the candidates
and that the other offices in the election don't matter?
Then you can't complain about the outcome. In 2016,
78,000 stay-at-homes elected Trump. Not all of them
are happy with the result.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/some-pennsylvania-democrats-regret-not-voting-in-2016-they-say-theyll-be-sure-to-cast-a-ballot-in-2020/2019/08/23/e2d4f4c0-a1b0-11e9-b732-41a79c2551bf_story.html
Democrats (and Greens and Libertarians and independents)
should not be like Bret Stephens -
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/27/opinion/trump-tariffs-democratic-candidates.html
He's often a fairly rational traditional conservative -
but see
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/08/27/bret-stephens-bedbug-david-karpf-twitter/
and he says he'll vote for a third party rather than
Elizabeth Warren. This is nuts - in 2020 a third-party
vote is a vote for Trump. Even if Warren is president
in 2021, Congress will be much like it was in 2020,
and all the big plans she has won't go anywhere fast,
so conservatives (and everybody else) should relax about
that, and think about which would be worse with executive
orders and diplomacy - the things that the president can
accomplish by herself or himself - Warren (or any other
Democrat) or Trump.

Republicans can count on Democrats!
If recession damage becomes apparent before the election,
the Democrats should do all they can to make sure they are
running against Trump and his recession. And introduce
an impeachment resolution AFTER the Republican convention.
The Republicans really don't want to lose the Senate too.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-critics-eye-gop-primary-race-even-if-defeating-him-seems-preposterous/2019/08/20/4382f3dc-c360-11e9-b72f-b31dfaa77212_story.html
If there's no recession apparent by then, the Democrats
should do all they can to encourage as many other
Republicans to run as possible. And introduce an
impeachment resolution at the highest-leverage moment
BEFORE the Republican convention.
If the dump-Trump movement gains any traction, the
Trumpists will probably want to encourage it to become
a third-party or independent campaign rather than a
Republican primary campaign. That's because any
third-party or independent campaign that gains any traction
will probably result in an election decided by the House
according to the 12th Amendment, which will almost surely
result in a Trumpist victory due to the rural bias of
the Constitution.
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
But in the end, it's all up to - Chairman Xi. We know
how grateful Trump can be to despots who give him a big
timely photo-op.

A tea partier talks about challenging Trump from the right.
Perhaps there are others that agree. Perhaps one
day many will agree publicly. Especially if the
recession becomes palpable before the election. If many
far right Republicans abandon Trump, it will be practically
overnight. And if there are enough of them, the rest
of the Republican politicians will pretend they were there
with them all along.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/14/opinion/joe-walsh-trump-primary.html
A self-serving opportunist can't expect much loyalty from
other self-serving opportunists, once they perceive that
their best opportunity lies elsewhere.
But fortunately for Trump's self-esteem, there are some
Republicans that will never turn on him no matter what -

An attempt to explain evangelical support for Trump.
He might actually get more evangelical votes in 2020
than 2016.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/14/evangelicals-view-trump-their-protector-will-they-stand-by-him/
In a way, they are right - the apocalypse is coming,
but probably not in the form they expect, and it will be
coming sooner rather than later, if Trumpists continue to
run things.
http://www.liberty-and-justice.net/
But if a recession is palpable by election day, they'll
vote against him, along with a big part of his base.
Scripture says one cannot serve two masters - and
we know which one Trump serves. Of hell, Shaw
says "Nothing is real here. That is the horror of
damnation." Nothing real - the perfect place for
a reality TV star.
https://www.bartleby.com/157/3.html lines 149-544
although the whole act is full of timely commentary on
what used to be called political economy.

What happens when one self-promoting opportunist crosses
another?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-are-we-all-tolerating-this-scaramucci-says-gop-should-consider-replacing-trump-on-2020-ticket/2019/08/12/c82af7d2-bcf4-11e9-b873-63ace636af08_story.html
Scaramucci is right about one thing. If Trump falls,
it will be overnight. That's the way self-serving
opportunists roll. Rabid Trumpists the day before will
all be rabid never-Trumpers the day after.
Mostly that depends on the economy. The same
low-information voters that thought Trump was responsible
for a recovery after a recession will hold him equally
responsible for a recession after a recovery, even though
both were inevitable and it was just a question of timing.

Single-issue voters are a pillar of Republican minority
rule.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-08-08/single-issue-voters-have-doomed-gun-control-in-congress-that-could-be-changing
Most Republican politicians would probably prefer fewer
military weapons circulating among private citizens.
But they know they can't survive without the votes of the
gun enthusiasts and the donations from the NRA (with help
from Russia).

Calendar of coming attractions - where should we put the
impeachment vote?
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/elections/2020-presidential-election-calendar.html
The House has begun impeachment hearings but might not
vote on impeachment for a while, the better to let swing
voters mull over the Mueller report -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/09/impeachment-inquiry-trump-has-feared-is-here/
The last big primary day is April 28. The Democratic
convention is July 13. The Republican convention is
August 24. So why not have the impeachment vote in the
House in May or June, after most of the Republicans know
whether they've been out-trumped in the primary - so the
lame ducks can vote their consciences at last, if they
can find them.
But have the House vote before the Democratic convention,
and then have the Senate vote between conventions.
If McConnell won't allow a vote - remember Merrick Garland
- that will be an issue in the general election, including
his re-election campaign.
The other Republicans can mull over the tax cuts and
reactionary judges and deregulation they could have had
just as easily under President Pence while maybe even
keeping control of the House. Maybe they don't want
another four years of anxiety. But as Trump would say,
"what have you got to lose?" In for a nickel,
in for a dollar. Their silence is already a pretty
thorough endorsement of Trumpism.

Sorry guys, like the good Germans in 1933, you knew in your
hearts the direction this bus was heading when you got

If it reaches its goal, you're going to be even worse off.
You could have your tax cuts and your reactionary judges
and your deregulation under President Pence. Without
all this extra angst. Your choice. Trump already
cost you the House, but maybe there's still time to grab
the steering wheel. Don't count on the Democrats coming
to your rescue. They have begun impeachment hearings

The Republicans will be able to say that everybody has
a job now! Of course, the reason everybody has a job
now is that it's the end of the recovery jump-started by
Obama in 2009, against the usual Republican opposition.
Back then, they were worried about deficit spending even
in a recession. Now deficit spending doesn't bother
Republicans even at the height of the recovery!
What Republicans won't be able to say is that everybody
will still be able to come home from their job and find
their family still alive. Wouldn't you know it,
just when Republicans need them most, more people are
turning toward restrictive gun laws than ever -

NRA and Republican senators take a break from worrying
about their own personal safety -
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nra-mansion-reports-wayne-lapierre_n_5d4adddee4b01e44e4739aeb
and rush to assure a worried nation - that nothing is
going to change -

But enough is enough!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/07/have-we-arrived-an-inflection-point-gun-debate/
No other civilized country allows private citizens to own
assault weapons. But Republican politicians keeping
dancing away from the issue, trying to distract with
talk about mental health or red flags or video games.
But nothing's going to change as long as millions of
assault weapons are loose in the land.
The assailants are not mentally ill.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/08/opinion/mass-shootings-mental-health.html
They made a calculated rational decision to win their
15 minutes of fame guaranteed in the Constitution, or
the Declaration of Independence ("right to pursue
happiness"), or at least in Andy Warhol's memoirs -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_minutes_of_fame
Everybody's got the right to their dream!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAp6IDg_7Co
Those who went before are cheering you on!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins_(musical)
But shooting at the president is so old-fashioned and
difficult. So why not go for the gold - you might set
the world record and be prime time and front page news for
days - or at least for 15 minutes. It might be posthumous
glory, but the Second Amendment does guarantee everybody
the right to grab for the glory, as long as they're willing
to pay the price.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/controversial.html#second%20amendment
Republican Senators are willing to allow shooters to pay
the price - and their victims - because they know that
single-issue gun enthusiasts, and Russian-enhanced NRA
donations, are important pillars of Republican minority
rule and if those voters stay home on election day or
vote for third party or independent candidates, then the
Republicans lose their grip on power.

So when was the last time you heard a Republican senator
say "Rather than support Putin's agenda of division
and disruption, I'd rather do the right thing even
if I lose in the primary?" Usually they just
give up and don't run for re-election. Some patriots!
Some statesmen!
It's up to us to make sure that all the other gutless
Republican senators lose in the general election instead.
Any senator who is silent or equivocal about getting
assault weapons out of our system is aiding and abetting
the crimes of the past and the future. Donate time or
money for lasting change!

Follow the money.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/opinion/republicans-white-terrorism.html
Implicit racism has been a pillar of Republican minority
rule since the Southern Strategy -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy
Now it's become explicit, and some Republicans might
not like it - but not enough to endanger their political
careers.

No more thoughts and prayers - we need action.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/04/us/politics/gun-control-laws-mass-shootings.html
The Senate is the problem, and there won't be any action
without fixing that problem. The NRA, with its
Russian helpers, will do its utmost to prevent action.
So senators quietly direct their thoughts and prayers
toward the NRA not backing an opponent in the next primary.
Of course, none of the Republicans want to take a vote on
the record that will be used against them either in the
primary or the general.
But if you're tired of reading the headlines, put the fear
of God and the general election back into the thoughts
and prayers of the Senate, with your money or your time
placed where it will do the most good now -
http://www.dscc.org/
or if you prefer less partisan -
https://www.bradyunited.org/ https://giffords.org/
And for the long game, think about why Republicans are so
successful at minority rule -
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
And get the money changers out of the temple of democracy -

It would be nice if these were winning campaign points -
==
Unity: We're one people. Our leader represents all the
people. He doesn't go around attacking whole cities and
regions.
Honesty: We can't have deliberative democracy without
respect for the truth. None of us want congenital liars
in our homes or our workplaces.
Pluralism: Human difference makes life richer and more
interesting. We treasure members of all races and faiths
for what they bring to the mosaic.
Sympathy: We want to be around people with good hearts,
who feel for those who are suffering, who are faithful
friends, whose daily lives are marked by kindness.
Opportunity: We want all children to have an open field
and a fair chance in the great race of life.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/01/opinion/debate-marianne-williamson.html

Trump would say he was the greatest example of all of these
in the history of the presidency, and his true believers
would agree. A lot of people in the middle wouldn't
believe him because they don't believe any politicians,
so Democrats have no traction there.
The reason Democrats emphasize objective bread-and-butter
issues is that they are tangible to all voters.
Better medical care, lower taxes for working people, jobs
rebuilding infrastructure - all things Trump promised but
will never deliver, because either the Freedom Caucus side
of his base or or Mitch McConnell or Trump's donors won't
support them or he just can't focus on any one thing long
enough and deep enough.
What are the issues that most engage voters? See
https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/914855105525676
You have to have a vision, and a plan, that includes the
Senate and state legislatures. See

Which policy proposals have widespread support?
-- Requiring background checks for gun purchases or private
sales (89% say it's good idea)
-- Medicare for all who want it, presenting it as an option
(70%) rather than doing away completely with private health
insurance (41%)
-- Regulating prescription drug prices (67%)
-- Providing a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in
the U.S. illegally (64%)
-- Investing in so-called green jobs and energy efficient
infrastructure (63%)
-- Increasing taxes on those making more than $1 million
(62%)
-- Legalizing marijuana (63%)
-- Banning assault-style weapons (57%)
-- Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour (56%)
And which don't?
-- A guaranteed universal basic income of $1,000 per month
for American adults (26%)
-- Providing reparations for slavery (27%)
-- Decriminalizing illegal border crossings (27%)
-- A national health insurance program that is available
to immigrants in the country illegally (33%)
-- Abolishing the death penalty (36%)
-- Medicare for all replacing private health insurance
(41%)
-- Getting rid of the Electoral College (42%)
https://www.npr.org/2019/07/22/743516166/npr-newshour-marist-poll-americans-not-sold-on-trump-or-democrats
Which candidate is most aligned with the average voter?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/02/opinion/beto-orourke-medicare.html
But that last issue about the Electoral College -
structural reforms to promote democracy is essential to
achieving all of the rest. Only one candidate seems
to be fully on board with that.
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/7/30/20748078/pete-buttigieg-democratic-debate-cnn
Being younger, long-term solutions seem more attractive to
him than to older candidates who won't live long enough
to see the full benefit. Structural reforms have to
be part of the solution, but candidates can't lead with
them until more voters understand the cause and effect of
Republican minority rule.

Talk about racism all you like. Trump loves it when
Democrats discuss it with his base.. He knows that
nobody's opinion is going to change at this point.
But what is Trump really worried about, that he doesn't
want Democrats discussing with his base? A recession
above all. And after that, medical care -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/trump-to-unveil-drug-price-health-initiatives-in-walk-up-to-2020/2019/07/31/f4adc4de-af1a-11e9-8e77-03b30bc29f64_story.html
But can he keep the Trumpist coalition together and do
anything substantive? And what if ACA is declared
unconstitutional - there's no replacement that a majority
of Trumpists would support.
Two more things Trump doesn't like to hear - how narrow
his margin was in 2016 (78000 votes) and how unpopular he
is nationally now (40-45%).

You can't out-Trump Trump. And you shouldn't let him
dictate the terms of the campaign.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/21/us/politics/trump-race-democrats.html
The 2020 election will be decided, like 2016, by the
persuadables in the battleground states who voted for
Obama and then Trump. They've heard him talk about
racism for years. By now, they've already made up their
minds about Trump's racism, whether they like it, hate it,
or don't care.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/us/politics/trump-michigan-racism-2020.html
But they might still be persuadable about the issues that
he doesn't talk about so much any more, that mattered in
2018 - medical care, jobs, social safety net. Particularly
if the current economic recovery finally runs its course
and a recession is palpable by election time. Can the
Democrats agree on a persuasive approach?

Winner-take-all bias.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/upshot/trump-electoral-college-edge-.html
The laws of 48 states award all a state's electoral votes
to the plurality winner in that state. This is not
in the Constitution or in Federal statute; it's up to
each state to decide, and Nebraska and Maine decided
differently.
But it means that in two states with the same number of
electoral votes, a landslide in one state counts the same
as a squeaker in the other. Thus the individual
votes count unequally.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/democracy.html#electoral%20college
That's what happened in 2016. If the right 78000
Trump voters had stayed home - or if the right 39000
Obama-Trump voters had voted for Clinton - we'd have a
different president now. 78000 more or fewer votes in
California or New York, however, would have had no effect.
That's why the politicos focus on the
"battleground" states, and on the persuadable
voters in those states. Trump is convinced that if
he can mobilize his base to turn out in those states, it
won't matter that he has gained lost ground among college
graduates, women, or racial/ethnic/sexual minorities.

By attacking the squad, Trump wants to elicit a reaction
attacking his base. Part of his base is indeed composed
of racist deplorables worth attacking.

Is there an alternative explanation for Trump's racist
tweets?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-tweets-are-a-distraction-for-something-else-he-doesnt-want-us-to-see/2019/07/16/4274a34c-a811-11e9-9214-246e594de5d5_story.html
The timing relative to Epstein does look suspicious.
Trump isn't much of a tactician or a strategist, but it
will be interesting to see if he launches a diversion on
the day of the Mueller testimony -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democrats-hope-mueller-testimony-will-put-bright-spotlight-on-trumps-efforts-to-derail-investigation/2019/07/18/79dc4b76-a3ef-11e9-b732-41a79c2551bf_story.html
Trump's blatant racist tweets, though, are mostly likely
just what they seem - a preview of the blatant racism
strategy that the Trumpists have adopted for 2020.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/us/politics/trump-election-squad.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/us/politics/donald-trump-republicans.html
The "send her back" rally chant a couple of days
later seems to confirm that, That might have been a step
too far - Trump tried to walk it back - it must have polled
poorly with his donors or congressional supporters.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-a-racist-tweet-became-a-trump-rally-chant-in-three-short-days/2019/07/18/bd81b798-a968-11e9-9214-246e594de5d5_story.html
But it was popular with his base, so the uproar must have
been due to the fake news mainstream media.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-day-after-distancing-himself-from-hostile-chant-trump-criticizes-media-for-its-coverage-of-his-rally/2019/07/19/9c094c16-aa12-11e9-9214-246e594de5d5_story.html
But if the squad did not exist, it would have been
necessary for Trump to invent it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/opinion/squad-trump-aoc.html
From now until the end of time, Trump has to keep doubling
down on racism and white supremacy and immigration for
his base. Whenever the next economic recession occurs,
the Democrats and many voters will blame it on Trump.
Until then, the Democrats will keep pointing out all
the economic harm Trumpists have inflicted on his base.
So no matter what happens, he has to keep his base too
distracted to hear and see for themselves.

Why have Republicans become Trumpists?
There are lots of Republicans who could have advanced
a conservative agenda far more effectively than Trump.
Mike Pence for one. But Pence and most of the rest
lack a certain something - the undying devotion of the
racists and the fascists - because they so far have refused
to pander to them the way Trump does. Keeping these
groups in the Republican column with maximum turnout is
essential for preserving minority rule, and Trump seems
to have figured this out better than the former mainstream
Republicans -
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/us/politics/trump-election-squad.html
better than anybody since Kevin Phillips.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy
Now Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are fully on board.
They know that Trump has made keeping the racists on
board is as essential for minority rule as unlimited dark
money, gerrymandering, voter suppression, filibuster,
and rural bias.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/trump.html#Second%20Trump%20Constituency
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/democracy.html#corporate%20donations
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/democracy.html#redistricting
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/democracy.html#filibuster
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
As for the rest, they have compromised themselves beyond
the point of no return - they can never look a real
conservative in the eye and say that they have upheld
traditional Republican conservative ideals. Now they
are stuck, willingly or not, with a campaign strategy of
throwing dirt against the squad no matter who is actually
running in their district.

Better an honest Libertarian than another crooked
Trumpist in the House. On a presidential run,
Amash might get support from the Kochs. Would a
Libertarian candidate draw support from unenthusiastic
Republicans or unenthusiastic Democrats or unenthusiastic
stay-at-home-and-sit-this-one-outers? As to
Libertarianism -
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/theory.html#registration
In genuinely contested American bipartisan elections,
60% is considered a landslide. What we can infer from
that is that 40% will vote Republican no matter what,
40% will vote Democratic no matter what, and only 20%
are persuadable. What does that mean for third party
and independent candidates for President?
If they have any success - as in getting all 20% of the
persuadables, there would be a dangerous chance of the
election being decided in the House by the 12th Amendment -
read it and weep -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
Voting is by states - that rural bias would pretty much
guarantee a Trump victory. That applies to Amash, Howard
Schultz, and anybody else.
http://www.reduce-rural-bias.net/
There are other efforts ongoing to reduce the partisan
bias and gridlock Amash decries.

The Senate is more important than the White House.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/01/opinion/senate-democrats-mcconnell-2020.html
All those Democratic presidential hopefuls who might
keep ot get a Senate seat are misplacing their energy.
And Democratic governors are very important as an
antidote to Republican gerrymandering, which the Supreme
Court has decided the Federal government is powerless to
prevent, despite the 14th Amendment "nor shall any
State... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws."

Latinos for Trump!

Or course, planning a campaign around the economy could
prove problematic if the long-overdue recession arrives
at an inconvenient time.
Aside from that though, the Trump base doesn't need Latinos
and he seldom strays far from his base for long.

VP? That remains to be seen - which of the others is
suitable to be president-in-training for 2028? Somebody
under 60, please.
Everybody else should go back to keeping or getting a
Senate seat or a governor's chair.

If she became President, most of her plans would not
become law. It would be better if the senators and
governors advanced their plans from their current positions
of power and experience, and supported the next generation
for the presidency.

If she became President, most of her plans would not become
law. As Obama and Trump learned, you can't plan a stable
majority in the Senate. But Warren's plans do indicate
the direction she wants to lead. Maybe it would be
better if the senators and governors advanced their plans
from their current positions of power and experience,
and supported the next generation for the presidency.
We'll learn more tonight.

Where can the Democrats find 39000 votes?
If the right 39000 Obama voters had voted for Clinton
instead of Trump, the 2016 election would have turned
out differently.
How can the Democrats regain those voters in 2020,
particularly if the economy is still doing well on the
coasts? They better start by focusing on the issues those
voters are most interested in.

What exactly is supposed to happen in Iowa and New
Hampshire?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/12/magazine/democratic-primary-candidates-iowa-caucus.html
As for Marianne Williamson - awakening and healing may
be keys to reconciliation. Unfortunately, the essence
of the problemthat there are plenty of people on the left
and far more on the far right who already feel awakened by
the spirit of History or the spirit of God, and are only
interested in struggling toward complete victory over
the opposing demons. And that's just our country -
in the rest of the world there are plenty of ideological
maniacs and their cynical puppet masters who manipulate
them, as well as our own citizens, via mass media and,
especially nowadays, social media.

Very long shots for Republicans in swing districts.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/07/how-republicans-could-regain-lost-house-seats/
If there were ranked-choice voting,
https://www.fairvote.org/
these Republicans might have a chance of making their case
- same as Democrats in swing districts. But what it takes
to win the primary first virtually insures a loss in the
general election in swing districts.

This week Warren has momentum of ideas.

But all these women are full of ideas.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/06/09/you-want-know-who-is-electable/
Beto O'Rourke is also trying to recover with policy
proposals -

These are not necessarily the right ideas in terms of what
needs to be done and what can get through congress.

And why do they think the White House is where those ideas
will happen?
Better to keep as many Democratic senators and governors
in office as possible.

Here's a place you can indicate your preference along with
a Republican vice president who might be able to help get
things done with a Congress that will probably be more
Democratic but still closely divided.
https://www.unityticket.us
There is very little chance of obtaining a veto-proof
2/3 Democratic majority of both houses or even a
filibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the Senate. Even if
the national Trumpist party follows the example of the
California Republican Party into oblivion,
https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/05/30/no-party-preference-overtakes-republican-in-democrat-dominated-california/
something else might arise to offer a plausible
conservative alternative.

Vote for your own Unity Ticket!
UniteAmerica is encouraging anybody interested to vote for
their own Unity Ticket of one Democrat and one Republican.
https://www.unityticket.us
It's just an opinion poll at this point, but it asks a
question that the regular pollsters don't.
The idea extends back to the National Union Party of 1864,
but hopes for better results for the candidates.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Union_Party_(United_States)
UniteAmerica would like your support too.

The Senate Challenge
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/opinion/senate-democrats-2020.html
It's critical because the Senate confirms judicial nominees
and treaties and votes whether to convict and remove an
impeached president. It's actually more important than
who is elected president. But Mitch McConnell's rule is
fortified by the rural bias in the Constitution -

Republicans in Congress know Trump is wrong on the facts
and abusing the power to set tariffs that Congress unwisely
ceded in times past.
But the senators worry they won't survive the primary if
they say anything, because Trump is right on the feelings
of his base, who will support him no matter the pain.
So they are all Trumpists now -
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/13/trade-china-republicans-1319024
Except Richard Burr, who so far has been willing to take
the heat -
https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/13/politics/donald-trump-jr-richard-burr/index.html
And a few Republican senators are starting to worry about
the effect of trade restrictions on farmers -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/white-house-explores-new-farmer-bailout-plan-as-us-china-trade-war-heats-up/2019/05/14/a7ee018e-7641-11e9-bd25-c989555e7766_story.html
Getting rid of primaries, or having a plausible
alternative, might reduce the incidence of multiple
personality disorders (primary personality, general
personality) among elected officials.

Why Democratic Senators should forget about the White
House.
It's the Senate that's going to continue to set the tone.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/06/next-democratic-president-could-face-legitimacy-crisis/
And we know what Mitch will do if he can. The Senate
defied Obama all the time, and Trump whenever it felt
like it. So why do candidates think the White House
is going to be where things get decided?

Why would you run for President if you didn't have
a chance?
https://newrepublic.com/article/153220/winning-white-house-wont-fix-democracy
These guys all have their reasons for promoting their
brands -
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/us/politics/presidential-candidates-2020.html
We've had three straight years of "it's all
about ME." So instead of talking about themselves,
candidates that really wanted to serve their country would
be focusing on the institutional and constitutional changes
we need to make to promote democracy and make it possible
for constructive ideas to advance instead of languish.
After all, only one can be nominated for President and
perhaps elected, but there are lots of other candidates
who can be nominated and elected and make a difference.
As both Obama and Trump found out, it's hard to get
anything through Congress when your fractious party
controls both houses, but impossible otherwise. That's the
origin of the executive overreach that became habitual
starting with Bush II.
Every campaign speech should first be about
WHAT is needed to promote democracy - fixing dark campaign
money, voter suppression, gerrymandering, rural bias,
primary elections, and
WHO among local candidates for US Senate and House and
the state legislature and governor that will be promoting
democracy in a positive way.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/07/who-are-all-these-guys/
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/16/opinion/sunday/2020-election-men.html
These WHOs are much more important than who is in the
White House. But it's hard to get the average voter as
worked up about them.

The Sherrod Brown approach
It's an approach for winning the general election, not
the primaries. He decided not to pursue it, but
maybe somebody else will.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/03/19/feature/sherrod-brown-may-have-been-democrats-best-2020-hope
If the primary states had ranked-choice voting instead,
regional candidates like Brown would have a better chance
of surviving the long primary season while making a
national name for themselves.

Who says Republicans don't like recycling?
Mitch is planning to recycle Joe McCarthy's
"communists and fellow travelers" due to lack
of a better idea. "Tax breaks, deregulation, and
inactivist judiciary, all for our billionaire donors"
would have been more honest but probably didn't play well
in focus groups.

Do center-left Democrats have a chance?
There's a lot of commentary suggesting that center-left
Democrats are wasting time trying to work with center-right
Republicans -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/03/04/john-hickenloopers-entry-reveals-how-moderates-fatally-misunderstand-todays-gop/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/03/04/centrist-democrat-explains-why-its-time-give-left-chance/
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/4/18246381/democrats-clinton-sanders-left-brad-delong
because there aren't any more center-right Republicans left
and the Republicans that are left invented RESIST - first
the former Dixiecrats recruited by the Southern Strategy,
and then the Tea Partiers, and finally Mitch McConnell:
RESIST everything proposed by Obama, either because he's
a Democrat or because he's black. Support everything
proposed by the Republican leadership, even though
it's designed to benefit Republican donors rather than
Republican voters. Come down hard on any Republican who
won't toe the line. They've been suggesting that everybody
who is not 100% with the Trump program belongs with the
Democrats and other communists. This line of thinking
was music to the ears of Trump, and now it's his party.
Mostly.
Now the Democrats have a bunch of recently-Republican
voters.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-bigger-challenge-to-democrats-than-socialists-their-liberal-republicans/2019/03/03/31d78192-3c89-11e9-a2cd-307b06d0257b_story.html
Can they keep them, or will they soon become
recently-Democratic now-Republican voters again?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/05/opinion/democrats-liberals-socialists-cultural-left.html
==
There is a small group of Republicans in the House who
are willing to develop and support bipartisan solutions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_Solvers_Caucus
Members of the caucus don't get much respect from
the extremes of their parties, but they keep working.
There's the beginnings of a similar group in the Senate.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/04/us/politics/trump-national-emergency.html
You can't expect Republicans and Democrats to agree on
everything, but there usually is a way forward if they are
willing to look for it. The recent public lands bill is
an example -
https://www.ecowatch.com/public-lands-bill-2630182126.html
Nobody got everything they wanted, but most members got
something. Everybody held their nose about the things
they didn't like and voted for the things they did like.
The lack of respect has ideological bases but it's mostly
based on fear that anybody that collaborates with the
enemy will get wiped out in the primaries by more extreme
candidates, and if they survive that, wiped out in the
general election with no financial support from the party
and its big donors.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/where-does-america-find-such-sad-excuses-for-elected-leaders/2019/03/01/9a221ade-3c5a-11e9-a06c-3ec8ed509d15_story.html
So the real root causes here are the primary system,
gerrymandering, and unlimited dark campaign money. All of
these are being worked on, slowly.
https://www.fairvote.org/
https://democraticredistricting.com/
http://www.americanpromise.net/
One could add filibustering too, but neither party wants
to give that up.
The main lesson here, is that although who gets elected
President is important, even more important is who gets
elected to the House and even more, to the Senate.
No need to feel bad about supporting moderate and
centrist candidates for President, as long as you put
the bulk of your time and money in Senate, House, and
state governor and legislature elections - the states
control gerrymandering and voter suppression. Are you
supporting candidates that want to solve problems with
whoever is willing to help, or candidates that want to make
a political statement for their most enthusiastic base?

Looks like Bernie might not be the answer.

Everybody needs an inclusive strategy
For Democrats: economic justice
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/02/25/fresh-signs-trumps-weakness-just-emerged-some-democrats-are-already-screwing-up/
The party needs to understand and communicate that
"economic justice" is a common aspiration that
translates into somewhat different emphases among different
places and groups, and fitting every candidate's campaign
into the same Procrustean bed is not a winning strategy.
The "forgotten Americans" - those that Trump
doesn't seem to care about - everybody outside his base
and donors - are ripe for being remembered by Democrats.
http://www.political-scrapbook.net/trump.html#First%20Trump%20Constituency
For Republicans, economic liberty
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/25/trump-2020-campaign-strategy-1179119
The party needs to understand and communicate that
"economic liberty" is a common aspiration that
translates into somewhat different emphases among different
places and groups, and includes "liberty TO"
as well as "liberty FROM". Replaying Trump's
2016 campaign is not a winning strategy; he won by 78,000
votes and those voters have seen his movie before and have
not been impressed by the results of the first two years.
The best Republican strategy for electing Trump would be
to take away his phone and have him spend his time golfing
until after election day, except for occasional campaign
rally appearances in carefully selected locals before
carefully selected audiences. Or they could nominate
a more traditional candidate who can actually make a
case that he'd do something for the forgotten Americans.
It's hard to believe that either will happen, unless
the Democrats jump the gun and impeach Trump too early,
so Republicans have time to regroup under President Pence
before the primaries and election.

Can a female candidate be likable enough AND tough enough?
Or is this a heads-he-wins/tails-she-loses running against
a man?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/05/us/politics/women-candidates-president-2020.html
How about Angela Merkel or Margaret Thatcher?
The only sure way to get rid of the sexism is if two women
are running against each other. This happened in a
California district this year and both candidates were
able to deal with the real issues.
It would probably be resolved nationally if the Republicans
ran a woman for President. Nikki Haley for instance.
But that might mean they'd lose the misogynists,
patriarachalists, incels, proud boys, and other unsavory
parts of their coalition. And since the Republican
coalition is essentially a minority coalition - and getting
more minor all the time, especially in California - they
can't afford to lose any of their supporters.
