Over the last few years, my email box has been the destination for dozens and dozens of personalized messages from a dozen or so Big Shots in Trumpland -- Trump Himself, Senators, cabinet members. They almost all address me generically as "friend," while asserting a long-term relationship between "me" and Trumpism. I quit reposting them a few months ago as they ceased to have much substance other than SEND MONEY.

Here is this morning's call for my personal attention.

Please, please, please...

Friend,

Please, please, please... do not share this with anyone.

We’re begging you to keep this completely under wraps. If the radical Democrats get their hands on this, they will use it to tear our entire strategy apart.

We need your brutally honest opinion about something critical.

The Senate majority is hanging by a thread. The liberal mob is spending millions to silence Patriots like you, which is why we are coming to you in total secrecy. We need to know exactly where our top supporters stand before we finalize our next move.

This is not a drill.

We cannot afford any leaks. I need you to click the secure link below and tell us exactly what you think before time runs out.

Submit your confidential response here >>>.

The liberal mob. Spending millions to silence opposition.

Irony never sleeps.

As Maynard G. Krebs used to say, "We're doomed, Dobe."
