Curious why, PL? Is it like the way some people like to see car accidents?

I was a big fan and regular watcher of Morning Joe for years. Great right down the middle equal opportunity criticism of everything and anybody. But exactly about the time Joe began to make Mika squeaka, they took a big turn to full blown PDT hate and tear him up every day, personally as well as professionally. Generally accepted approach is to ignore it. Most Republicans do this and it doesn't work out well. PDT shoots back. His voters like it and I suspect it has gotten the loonies on the left even more off their game.
Liking how this is playing out more every day.
17 intelligence agencies agree with me. Lol.

I guess my question at this point is "how long can this approach work" as the media seems to be catching on to it. If the Repubs don't get their act together here soon and put some legislation together that can pass - I don't think people are going to accept this forever.powerlifter54 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:34 pm Agree with climber, he is either brilliant or a f'in moron. And at first take the left and their media cheerleaders always think the latter. But in the end either by luck of the morons or maybe brilliance he keeps winning and coming smelling like a rose.

It's revolutionary that the President communicates directly to so many citizens. And illegals.
If his goal is to advance his agenda - I don't see how that's happening. Although, like Obama, he is doing a lot with his pen and his phone.
Are full of passionate intensity.

He's a brilliant con man. Nothing wrong with that, but normally in a 'con' you walk away with your pockets full and leave the knuckleheads behind you wondering WTF happened to their money. Here, he's stuck in full view.powerlifter54 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:34 pm Agree with climber, he is either brilliant or a f'in moron.

wasn't the kelly incident before he became president? this is an unfortunate reminder of that.
now he's pres, which presumably comes with some expectations about conduct. while this latest bloody bit may not cost him core supporters, he's vulnerable if he alienates the unenthusiastic people with his misogyny. also, r's more generally are at risk. they have a big stake in this, although donny tiny hands seems immune to counsel from moderating voices.
i'd like to think that at some point our better natures will kick in and we'll reject this behavior in our leader.
is this how you want your president to conduct himself?

The Kelly incident was while he was a nominee for the Republican nomination. He won the nomination and the presidency. If he didn't alienate them before, why would his behavior alienate them now?dead man walking wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 3:47 pm along the lines of nafod's post:

He's also not the first POTUS with a reputation for boorish behavior-- Bubba, JFK, LBJ, and Nixon come to mind.
That said, the bigger question is probably about coattails, and a lot of Republicans have to make some decisions pretty quickly.

also, 2018 is looking iffy for r's, if you believe nate silver, who has a good record of forecasting. not perfect, of course, but sound enough that i suspect r's are worried.
so the circumstances have shifted.

The Johnson Party
by E. P. Whipple
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/ar ... ty/518748/
The President of the United States has so singular a combination of defects for the office of a constitutional magistrate, that he could have obtained the opportunity to misrule the nation only by a visitation of Providence. Insincere as well as stubborn, cunning as well as unreasonable, vain as well as ill-tempered, greedy of popularity as well as arbitrary in disposition, veering in his mind as well as fixed in his will, he unites in his character the seemingly opposite qualities of demagogue and autocrat, and converts the Presidential chair into a stump or a throne, according as the impulse seizes him to cajole or to command.
So, you know, nothing is unprecedented, really. (Unpresidented?)
― William Tecumseh Sherman

You're forgetting about the sexual harassment and assault accusations leveled at Bubba. And he kept the female vote. There is always an opposition to be compared to and very few people are single issue voters.nafod wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:21 pmCome on, seriously?

Not at all. Trump has Bubba's sexual harassment and assault x 10, taken to a weird place (buy a beauty pageant so he can walk in on them).Turdacious wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:56 pmYou're forgetting about the sexual harassment and assault accusations leveled at Bubba.nafod wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:21 pmCome on, seriously?
