========== Roy Moore or Doug Jones? It's a hard choice for Democrats - win one now or win more later? It's almost enough to make one feel sorry for Mitch McConnell - if Doug Jones wins, it will be that much harder to pass any strictly partisan bills, but at least Jones might vote for bipartisan bills. If Moore wins, then he will probably vote against anything McConnell is for, partisan or not, unless he can insert an amendment like carving the ten commandments on the Washington Monument or requiring deportation of Muslims and LGBT people or reducing the age of consent to 12 or failing that, Moore will keep the Senate in such turmoil that the Republicans lose a lot more than one seat next year. I don't know why Trump thinks he can count on Moore on the tax bill, or judicial nominations, or anything else. Moore would be Bannon's present to Democrats that just keeps on giving.

Trump might not be criminal enough to be impeached nor mentally deficient enough for the 25th Amendment. His biggest flaw as president has been unwillingness or inability to expand his base of support, so that it is contracting toward its hard core of those who feel he empowers them to ignore truth, logic, civility, and other traditional virtues. If Trump's intent were disruption, as Bannonites urged, then Trump could call that success. If Trump's intent were winning, as Trump often said, then Trump might have wanted to pay more attention to McConnell and Ryan about how to work with a narrow and unstable majority in the Senate that has to do its work via what's called "reconciliation" since they refuse to actually reconcile with bipartisanship and produce bills that can attract 60 votes. Right after the 2016 election, donations to the Democratic Redistricting and House committees seemed to be in order, but not the Senate, because it seemed a lost cause in 2018 due to luck of the draw of which seats would be contested. Perhaps the Republican leadership thought that their initial setbacks would be rectifiable after the 2018 election fortified their chances. Donations to the Democratic Senate committee make sense now, because... How Roy Moore has changed things! No matter what happens now, Republican chances of getting anything passed after December 12 have got to be even less than they are now. If the Bannonites' goal were to pass legislation that would count as wins for somebody, this would be a disaster. But since the Bannonite goal is to sow disruption and prove that American democracy doesn't work, Moore is exactly the man for the job. Moore is the Bannonites' biggest win, not their biggest mistake. Democrats will make sure that Republicans get sick of hearing about that win. Moore is the best thing for Democratic electoral mobilization since Trump himself. Though if somehow the Republicans enact their Billionaire Tax Relief and Democratic State Punishment bill, that's a win they are going to get sick of hearing about too. So where does that leave Trump? He can continue to win at disruption, or he can try to win at legislation. That would involve staying focussed and on message, never speaking ill of anybody who might be able to help, looking for staff whose primary loyalty is to the Constitution rather than Trump (or themselves), looking for ways in which Democrats could win some too... Could he do it? Would he even want to? ===== impact 85 impactrate 0 likeimpress 1 negative 0 posted 2017-11-17 ratio 6 react 2 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Getting Sick of Winning: by disruption or by legislation? topic politics wordrate 0 words 424 ID 538219329855924 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/538219329855924 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 2 impress 24 likeclickusers 2 likeimpress 1 likeuimpress 22 likeusers 1 likeuusers 12 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 24 oreach 13 posted "11/17/2017 08:07:54 AM" postotherclicks 1 reach 13 type Status ========== If you're a troll, don't forget to collect 200 rubles when you pass GO-rky park. If you're going to do the KGB's work, you might as well accept the KGB's pay. If you're not a troll, don't waste your energy by engaging with them, here or elsewhere. Do that and your energy that might have been productively spent elsewhere just energizes the trolls. One wonders how history might have been different if Alexander Hamilton had been able to resist the temptation to engage with the trolls of his time. Aaron Burr, on the other hand, would have been happy to sign on to the Trump campaign in hope of a fast track to fame and fortune. ===== comments 1 impact 35 impactrate 0 likeimpress 2 negative 0 posted 2017-11-11 ratio 1 react 3 reactrate 0 title If you're a troll, don't forget to collect 200 rubles when topic politics wordrate 0 words 116 ID 536032320074625 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/536032320074625 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 1 impress 14 likeclickusers 1 likeimpress 2 likeuimpress 10 likeusers 1 likeuusers 2 oimpress 14 oreach 4 posted "11/11/2017 07:56:18 PM" reach 4 type Status ========== The websites linked in the previous post here have nothing to sell and nothing to join.
