Republican Provocation

I have noticed several members of Congress on television and it's interesting that they were all in districts which may be hotly contested in two years. Apparently the current thrashing of the Trump administration has left them feeling vulnerable and in need of some air time. I have no doubt this situation has also led many to begin their campaigns with tactics meant to waste America's time, but to get their voters excited.

The trick: start talking about scary things like the Bowling Green Massacre -- which in fact didn't happen, or the necessity of having guns, despite the obvious anger the Left has towards guns. Hot button issues like this are bound to get Liberals into an argument which only the Right can win.

The solution for the Left: simply don't talk about hot button issues except in home districts where it is very favorable. Talk about issues which expose the Right as a disaster: Trump, idiotic legislation like rollbacks of important regulations or the Right's problem with the ACA (Obamacare).

Warning: do not jump the gun (or the shark) by calling for Impeachment and removal of Trump. This will be interpreted by the Right as a call to arms. They do not view Trump the way the Left does.

Solution: focus on the harm to our economy or America's reputation in the world or on the war (if one comes) which Trump alleged he was not going to do, and which will cost the lives of Americans.

Summary: focus on the harms to Americans, our economy, our reputation and lives and avoid discussion (altogether) of hot button issues except in very favorable territory.
