David French: We need to focus on the unequivocally bad things Trump says

#Trump #Politics #Election

Jail the ex-president for violating his gag order not to intimidate witnesses, in this case Cassidy Hutchinson.

[seanhenry]

For someone who “speaks his mind” and “tells it like it is, ” he needs people to come along after him and explain what he actually meant an awful lot…

[FloatDown]

It was unequivocally bad. WTAF is this nonsense.

[davedon]

I’d rather be a bad dude and not vote for Trump 😂😂😂

[xelamercedes]

I'm sorry: "blood bath for the country" has a "benign" interpretation? I'm gonna need that unpacked, please. It's so disheartening when the press gets distracted by its own illusions. We really need them to keep their eye on the ball.

[rondaniels]

Whether you say inflammatory things deliberately or by accident, if you don't have the skill of being able to speak without triggering a fire storm every time, you need to seek a different line of work.

[spiceyhotpot]

Dump spends most of his time saying bad things, knowing that people will pick up on them, and he then creates an issue by getting attention on anyone questioning his words.

[zeldasmith]

Do they expect a sociopath to recite Yeats, Wordsworth, or Dickenson?

Get real. A sociopath sociopaths.

[richardowens]

What we need are judges who will not turn a blind eye to Trump's repeated violations of his terms of release. We can shut him up by remanding him into custody. Problem solved.

[jrs]

Don’t forget all the countries that laugh at Trump. Replay those videos of world leaders laughing at him.

[johnhoffhines]

Why isn’t Trump arrested for domestic terrorism ??

[danchesney]

Why isn’t Trump being held in custody pending trial?

[winstonsmith]

If Trump was as bad as you guys are saying, there would be no need to lie about him or take his comments out of context.

[RODavis-mego]

The word " bloodbath, " is incongruous with anything except violence.

[rowandowland]

Wake up America, the country is walking towards a catastrophe. Mobilise the blue vote now for Nov

[robertjohnson]

VanJones: *_”If Trump gets the nomination then the Republican Party will be destroyed… it’s going to be a bloodbath”_*
AymanShow/Tara Setmayer: *_”It's going to be a bloodbath in November”_*
BrianWilliams: *_”Off year elections are often a bloodbath…”_*
MorningJoe: *_”It would be a bloodbath”_*
AlexWitt: *_”November is predicted to be a bloodbath…”_*
JoyReid: *_”Bloodbath at the ballot box…”_*

Focusing on the positive aspects of Biden’s administration is risky for MSNBC, not so polarizing, but if we want to win, we have to talk about what Biden is doing, not Trump!

[kenthompson]

We need R’s across the board to come out for Biden, against Trump, together. We can’t voluntarily hand him a “divide and conquer” advantage. And, it has to be current officeholders, people running for reelection and those that are not, staff and cabinet members of Trump’s, and high profile R’s. And local officeholders to their local constituents.

[mr.m]

They're doubling down on the hoax. They're desperate.

[vmark]

No we don't. Let the voters decide.
