Boycott Trump Media Coverage Until We See His Tax Records
The Atlantic’s Ron Fournier nails it: “A TV embargo would starve Trump’s ego, feed his vast insecurities, and rob him of the biggest crutch in his campaign—free media. It would bend him to the public’s will.”
Stop paying his surrogates, stop giving him free media, stop paying any attention to him at all until the “business candidate” shows us the one and only thing about his record that can be scrutinized: his tax records.
Could This Be 1980 All Over Again?
Pardon me for reliving a nightmare but I am very concerned this campaign could be so much like Carter vs. Reagan in 1980, when we all believed all we needed to do was point out to the nation what a nut job our opponent was, for saying stuff like “Trees cause pollution.” Further, I am uncomfortably reminded of Dukakis believing his superior intelligence wins the day. Hillary’s utilitarian, uninspiring speech last night suggested to me that her campaign is arrogantly relying on a conventional intellectual approach to an appealingly simplistic unconventional foe. Worrisome.
