keen eyed observers will note that much of my political commenting is advice for 'Crats.
Specifically -- When 'Crats run on Ol' Time Yellow Dog Pocketbook Issues -- THEY WIN! When they wander into a Weird, Socialist, Elitist SJW mire -- THEY LOSE. BIGLY!!
When The Don picks up the Yellow Dog Issues (and voters) after 'Crats throw 'em down, dance on 'em & leave 'em lying in the street -- HE WINS!!
But hey! Don't take MY word for it Here it is from a Leftie who watched 'Crats gleefully go off a Left Wing cliff in '72 ...
This from the (WINNER) 'Crat Elder Statesman Emeritus back in '92 ... IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!!
The Don HIMSELF made a similar statement regarding 'Crat economic policy during a 90s interview with Wolf Blitzer.
Why 'Crats cannot - or WILL not - learn such a simple lesson is a wonderment
Libertarian -- If the major parties (lately 'Crats) stray TOO far off the reservation, I've sometimes gone 3rd Party -- Sometimes Green, more recently Libertarian.
I was underwhelmed by BOTH major party offerings in '16 & went with the 3rd party that stood the best chance of getting 5% of the popular vote in a Prez Election & thus qualify for Minor Party Funding -- to rattle the cages of the Major Parties.
Libertarians came close to pulling it off -- within a single percentage point
Good Thinkin', SPC We needn't worry about Merc -- she's sold on the idea.
Getting Buttage to switch teams & dump Chasten could require some real get down serious spell casting. Séx deviants get awful firm set in their ways. Not sure why
I seem to remember POTUS being used on the TV series, The West Wing, which would be the early 00s. Presumably it had been in use prior to the TV series
Interestingly, The Don dislikes POTUS & prefers EGOTUS ...
POTUS is married to FLOTUS = First Lady Of The United States.
Example -- Melania Trump is currently FLOTUS.
SO - IF Buttage wins & becomes Prez (POTUS) ... AND IF Merc straightens him out & he dump Chasten for her ... THEN Our very own Merc will become FLOTUS
RE: MSNBC Matthews to Establishment Democrats: Vote for Trump
An interview with Chris Matthews prior to the Caucus ...He doesn't reference Occupied France, but hits most points mentioned in the OP.
DAYUM!
