"SNIP....

CNN: “Inside the White House, the President is watching announcement rallies, tuning into televised town hall sessions with voters and listening carefully to commentary on the Democratic presidential race. His opinions fluctuate on who he will, or would like to, run against. But one sentiment is unwavering — he has no plans to sit idly by and watch.”

“The President intends to play an active role in the Democratic primary and has instructed his aides to look for ways he can, according to more than a dozen Republicans involved in his campaign. His team is working to sow divisions among rivals and looking for opportunities to ’cause chaos from the left and right,’ in the words of one adviser.”

It has to be ignored as individuals if it's policy stuff meant to split the center from the wing, it has to be ignored collectively if it's a personal attack, and it has to be attacked collectively if it's fascist or fraudulent.

This is only an advantage for him, if we're dumber than he is. If we're not, he will dig his own grave with this shit. If we're lucky, he will throw a lot of GOP electeds in there before he goes, and we can mass-bury the lot of of them.

'and cause chaos from the left and right.'

Wherever did he get that idea??

I'm thinking of a guy who lives in Moscow, name starts with 'P.'

Could the Trumpster get anymore obvious?
