    The interesting thing about this is How Tone Deaf she is to her constituents wants. She’s just like her Pappy.
    Cheneys, like Clintons, are ONLY interested in THEIR agenda. To the extent that it sometimes aligns with their chosen party is pure coincidence.

        I think she is a female version of Trump. She has taken up his message, but not only that, she is using his style, because it has worked before.

        I knew in 2016 when Trump ran that political campaigns would change. His style came from his show The Apprentice. He turned the 2016 campaign into that show and said to Hillary, "You're Fired!!!" roughly speaking before a national audience.

        "Because you'd be in jail." That was to me the moment when she lost the whole thing.

        Now that his way of getting free attention from the liberal media has worked, many candidates will use this technique. For better or worse.

          The creator of Dilbert about Trump.
          “I’ve got a background in hypnosis and I’ve studied persuasion for decades as part of my job. And I see in him more persuasion power than I’ve ever seen in one human being”. - Scott Adams

            Trump uses repetition. One speech he used the word "win" and winning" 11 times in under a minute. He also analyzed his opponents and named them aptly based on an easily perceived caricature. Sleepy Joe, Nervous Nancy, Pocahontas. These are very low tricks but they worked. It's not really what we want in a President, a name-caller, but it worked. It was entertaining. He made 2016 look like Celebrity Deathmatch.

          You are on to something. Hehe. This excerpt form Richard the Saint……
          Hello? Is there anybody out there? Have we forgotten who this man is? Are we under the impression that Donald Trump suddenly transformed himself from master of entertainment media into a geo-political genius during the course of one campaign cycle in 2015? It would be completely idiotic to think such a thing. Does that make him any less brilliant? Of course not. In fact, it makes him all the more brilliant because he never (and still has not to this day) strayed away from his sweet spot which is mass communication and persuasion. Sometimes we’re aware but other times it’s not obvious to the naked eye (or ear). Sometimes it’s via text, sometimes video, sometimes via audio. He is equally effective regardless of the medium.

          Sometimes it’s planned and other times…well…it’s even more planned.

          And it’s a very good thing (Republic-saving thing) that he never went off that reservation because he has used his extraordinarily vast communication skill stack to literally transform an entire generation. Whether you like Trump or hate Trump, to paint him as a reckless buffoon who has no idea what he is doing only shows you to be a buffoon who has no idea what you’re saying.

          Often times we look at those on the other side of our worldview and there is nothing they can say or do that would make us appreciate their skill because we’re clouded by our disdain for them. This is true for Donald Trump because the perceptions that those on the other side have of him cloud their view from being able to see his skill.

          Before we get into the heart of the matter today let’s play a little game of ‘Did You Know?’ Did you know that the internet domain http://truthsocial.com was first registered on November 18, 2011? And then almost 10 years to the day it was re-registered by Devin Nunes and the gang at Truth?

            That's interesting that truthsocial goes back to 2011. Never knew that.

            Hillary tried to beat Trump at his own game, with her Deplorables attack:

            "You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put HALF of Trump's supporters in what I call a BASKET of Deplorables."

            Watching her it was obvious that she or one of her campaign staff crafted that sentence very carefully and she launched it at her carefully chosen time.

            Why did she say only HALF? Because she was trying to play Divide and Conquer. As if she would induce conservatives to scramble over each other not to be in the deplorable basket.

            Why did she say BASKET? Because she was attacking Flyover Country, the conservative Bread Basket.

            Trump attacked Democrat politicians, while Hillary attacked the entire conservative electorate. (Or half of it.) She said, in essence that the conservatives are a bunch of racists, sexists, homophobes etc...

            You can't insult the electorate, you need the swing voters to win.

            Stupid arrogant myopic bitch. Her scatter gun blew up in her own face. Do not insult the people who feed you, they might just dynamite their grain towers and defend their Gulches.
