How quickly many Americans forget what Trump did for them. Just the slightest accusation of his being "loud," being "impulsive," being "racist," or maybe being a "Nazi," anything that makes him less than perfect, and he is already viewed as an irredeemable bad guy. Without even thinking that the accusations come from the other camp. Edward Bernays was right, even the slightest pejorative like "he was weaned on a pickle" can make a nation see a person in a bad light. The worse part is, many of this mud slinging is coming from influencers on the Right.

I'm concerned about the part Trump is playing in spreading seeds of discord among Republican voters in Pennsylvania, regarding the Republican Senate Primary race which still hasn't been called yet. Mehmet Oz was the candidate Trump endorsed, and Trump has insinuated Oz's competitor Dave McCormick could/may have already cheated, and had encouraged Oz to declare victory prematurely. Such accusations like that minus any hard evidence of McCormick actually cheating would only serve to help divide Republican voters. I'm not liking Trump much for pulling such childish crap, the Republican Party doesn't need the drama.

He is, admittedly, impulsive, and has been burned with malicious smearing and cheating. He's not perfect, but I still think his heart is in the right place, and that he loves America enough to be willing to get burned some more in fighting for it. Without cost to taxpayers too.

@eschatologyguy I too think he's mostly got the right idea, but just wish he'd learn to control his tongue a little bit more and not be so quick to attack fellow Republicans.

@SpikeTalon Got this from NBC10:

As CEO of the world's largest hedge fund, David McCormick wore suits, lived on Connecticut's ritzy Gold Coast, talked up bipartisanship and described China as America's most important "bilateral relationship."

Now, as a Republican running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, McCormick wears jeans and casual dress shirts. He recounts the greatest hits of the right's culture war attacks on Democrats — paranoia about illegal immigration and the left using school curriculum to teach a history of America that's “not the America I know" — and he frames China as an “existential threat."

For McCormick, spinning the narrative of a hometown boy-done-good and hewing to the politics of Trumpism is central to his candidacy in a premier battleground Senate race.

But he is facing skepticism — and, as a leading candidate, attack ads — that his international business past is counter to former President Donald Trump’s “America First” governing philosophy and that he's a carpetbagging political opportunist trying to buy the seat.

AND a big uh-oh from Kathy Barnett calling out both McCormick and Oz for their alleged WEF ties.

I'm with you on that one. But if it's any consolation, I don't think he's a WEF-groupie. He is an America first guy.

@eschatologyguy I don't trust McCormick for one moment, in the past he certainly had been involved in shady dealings. That aside, I have not observed any hard evidence that McCormick has or attempted to rig votes in the recent PA Republican Senate Primary as Trump had suggested, so if Trump wants us to believe his claim then he needs to provide some serious evidence of such, otherwise I've no reasonable obligation to take him seriously. Also, Barnett hasn't exactly been trustworthy either and has a checkered past, and had refused to answer some questions regarding her past, so can't say I trust her either.

No shortage of mudslinging to go around...

@SpikeTalon Interesting times we're in.
