BillsSB2020 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) To be entirely fair, the right played the same game with Clinton and while it probably backfired in 98, it didn't seem to affect the 2000 Presidential race. I lean left and have been trying to tell anyone who would listen to stop the Russia hysteria. There was every chance in the world little or nothing was there and they'd look like fools. But in this day and age, most of it will be forgotten by Nov 2020 even if the left has egg on their face. Remember the Ralph Northam scandal? Seems like 100 years ago. So while I concur with the board that the MSM and many lefty pols will look foolish, it probably won't last.

If you're a Democrat, if you can wait out the scandal for 10 days, you're home-free. Republicans, it's a little longer - 14-21 days, maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans, it's a little longer - 14-21 days, maybe. Trump is a pioneer in this department and I mean that as a compliment. That's how you play the game circa 2019. I still believe Al Franken made a huge mistake, but there was so much heat coming from the #MeToo crowd that it may have been unsustainable at the time.

I wouldn't call Trump a pioneer, so much as other-worldly. His strategy seems to be outlasting scandals by tweeting new ones. Normal people wait for the scandal to lose traction. Trump just makes sure they never gain traction by ramming multiple scandals into each other like some warped version of social roller derby. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because otherwise, you're right. People will forget and move on and what happened in 2016 will happen again. Examples will be made to assure that this never, ever, happens again. Otherwise, the republic falls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with this statement. Wallace had different foreign policy prescriptions towards the Soviets, and his political opponents used it as an opportunity to paint him as a stooge. Similar to what's happening today, it was an attempt by the powerful to criminalize foreign policy which deviated from their orthodoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did remove him for deep concerns, whether it was wise or just is another question. I’m grateful Truman stepped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
