Here's the article by Jonathan Chait, positing that corruption, not Russia, is Trump's greatest liability. It's the self- dealing, stupid!
Chait concludes by telling Democrats they just need to tell a simple story for November 2018--
...Trump represented himself as a rich man feared by the business elite. He had spent much of his life buying off politicians and exploiting the system, so he knew how the system worked and could exploit that knowledge on behalf of the people. In fact, his experiences with bribery opened his eyes to what further extortion might be possible. Trump was never looking to blow up the system. He was simply casing the joint.And 62 million suckers bought it.
Yeah, it's the corruption that will bring him down. But what bothers me though is that his cult has firmly been established. To my coworkers and other morons I am forced to interact with here in South Carolina, trump is damn near a messiah to them.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think Mueller will have amassed enough ultra-strong and blindingly clear evidence that even the most ardent supporter will give up on that bastard when such information goes public.
But I'm too old to believe in such happy endings.
