“”"”"”An Army, digging into the personal lives of Dem politicians, their families, and their backers and their families. A Dem Senator has a daughter in drug rehab? Put up pictures all over the internet, and as many icky details as possible. FEAR. “”"”"

That may have utility, but I believe the biggest Achilles heel for Democrats is criminally-prosecutable corruption. These days, nothing bothers the largest number of people than politicians stealing from us in every observable sense of the word. When Democrats are indicted in large numbers for raking off billions from the trillions they have shaken loose, it could be devastating. But here’s the thing: both your suggestions and mine assume an aggressive, savvy, relentless opposition that finds ways to get around efforts to suppress these crimes and scandals. Unfortunately, Republicans, conservatives and libertarians these days have little stomach or competence for any of this — they figuratevely can’t find their collective dick with both their collective hands and a collective flashlight.

Until they (we) are willing to observe the Sean Connery/Untouchables version of the “Chicago Rules” to counter this administration’s Chicago Rules, we’re ineffectual.
