Some Advice to Dems: Stop Whinging Continuously About Trump

I have said this for awhile now, it's free publicity and his supporters will not be persuaded to join you no matter what you say. The MSM loves Trump's crazy stuff, they will report everything he says so let people make up their own damn minds.

  • World ending Trump!
  • Big Red Nuclear Button Trump!
  • Did you see/hear Trump's latest horror show!

One of the selling points to us hopeful 2008 dupes was that that the ACA (now better known as A Crappy Arrangement) would increase the number of people covered. This indeed happened. But BooHoO signed away the power which he briefly held, to regulate insurance companies in the most effective manner (Public option) in order to appease the Dreaded Republicans (DRs), who at that time were the minority party in both Chambers.
