president donald trump is in the news with yet another criminal investigation of a very serious nature. then you have this new tactic is that they are going to fight back and punch republicans back in the nose. it s really, obviously being on defense, you re always losing when you are a defense, and the democrats feel that all of these things happening at once have given them finally a position of offense. it is definitely long shot by the base of the party and a welcome development. sam, what s your take on this new strategy? i think a.b. hits a number of valid points here. the context is really what matters. if this was two or three months ago pre roe v. wade decision, i don t quite have this democratic strategy, because two or three months ago prior, the gas prices coming down they, might not have done it. but you ve had those two
by president biden, as gas prices are going down, as president donald trump is in the news with yet another criminal investigation of a very serious nature. then you have this new tactic is that they are going to fight back and punch republicans back in the nose. it s really, obviously being on defense, you re always losing when you are a defense, and the democrats feel that all of these things happening at once have given them finally a position of offense. it is definitely long shot by the base of the party and a welcome development. sam, what s your take on this new strategy? i think a. b. hits a number of valid points here. the context is really what matters. if this was two or three months ago pre roe v. wade decision, i don t quite have this
the course, which is just of course trump acolytes. graham has said they just don t want him to face accountability. and generally there s a lot of republican sane, that s the whole idea, they want permanent power, and never face accountability from courts, from the press, ultimately from voters. so there is a big principle behind it in this drive for autonomy. but graham should be saying is that people should turn out in droves at the polls, instead of this very dangerous, dangerous threat. i don t think this will deter a single person who is investigating trump, and ultimately deciding whether to bring charges. so it s people in that regard, but it s incredibly dangerous. he s a u.s. senator, multi term united states senator. he s been a counselor to republican nominee john mccain, the president donald trump, it s incredibly scary. the first thing david plouffe said right there is lindsey graham knows better.
