Successful strategy of GOP media spin-doctors:

(1) Encourage Teflon Don Dump to continue tweeting and making outrageous comments to distract media from cut-backs in important agencies that protect public health, the environment and US economy, along reducing focus on GOP High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

(2) Trump supporters are encouraged continue to confront Democrats, protesters and environmentalists, to create sensational, distracting news.

(3) Leaking seemingly embarrassing news to distract media from increasing the focus on Trump's treasonous deals with enemy nations, tax-returns, documented bribes, kick-backs, or other serious crimes.

(4) Inciting violence at Trump rallies to induce media and online sources to focus on confrontations and riots, instead of obvious, absurd lies told during Trump speeches.

(5) Verbal and written attacks on accurate, detrimental news by calling it "fake news."

(6) Write preachy speeches for Trump about "freedom" while they destroy the US Constitution.

hope they are adroit enough to see through the plot and focus on what's really happening. I for one cannot hold my breath forever.

Watch the types of Opening Posts that make it to the top of the Greatest Page. While most of them are interesting and often informative criticisms of Trump, few - in any - focus on Trump income tax-returns, Obstruction of Justice and Teflon Dons hideously failed strategies with the economy and our allies.
