I do have to admit, though.  Seeing all of these Rs get their previous trashing of tariffs read back to them in interviews and watching them walk them back is hilarious.  Politicians, all.

You'll never, ever convince me Trump isn't stupid.  He doesn't read.  He's learned that bullying tactics from a wealthy person often work.  A person chosen at random from this board is smarter than he is, easily.  Easily.  EASILY.
Respectfully, I think you’ve sold him a little short. Sure, he does some strange stuff. Hate him or despise him he’s gotten himself elected to the presidency twice.

Really, OAM. What you’re really saying is that is just a lot of very stupid Americans.

nobody likes a bully but,....... if bullying has worked in the past and will work in the future it's not the dumbest tactic

That is a more damning indictment of the American electorate than anything. They fell for the con man. Twice.

Although OAM probably is saying that, such an assertion is probably relatively common if you are bombastic about politics and such. In our times, many on each side demonize the other, and feel voting for the other person is stupid. 

Shoot, badge said people are stupid and he hated them, and that was in response to people in the finance/business world, who he/a lot of folks would generally regard as smart.

I blame the opposing party for this.  If they would have simply put up a decent candidate.

Followed by this.

Ehhh. I think I spent like half a day on this board with someone obnoxiously insisting we throw CA out of the Union. 

I don’t know that I’d call people stupid per say, but they are somewhat credulous and willing to follow the fashions of the season.

I'm speaking about your statement regarding people demonizing the other party or, to put it more generally, demonizing people who don't vote the way you want them to.

Which was preceded by GR's statement demonizing the people that didn't vote the way he wanted them to.

And elected a walking cadaver --- with Alzheimer's.

Strange times, indeed.

Word.
This is so hypocritical-  the Dems now openly admitting the con job they attempted to pull. Covering up Biden’s level of incapacity.  A full blown orchestrated effort. 

It’s like the voters rejected the con man and the con. 
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
