RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - SunsetBengal - 01-31-2020 Pretty self explanatory here, nothing that you haven't already heard. Just thought someone should post in in P&R. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/rnc-releases-ad-showing-cnn-contributor-mocking-trump-voters-as-rubes-they-think-youre-a-joke-edited/ Quote:The Republican National Committee released an ad on Tuesday using footage of a CNN contributor mocking Trump voters as “credulous rubes.” RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - BmorePat87 - 01-31-2020 Rick Wilson is a Republican strategist.

In the video clip that I watched, he appears to be the token RINO to supplement the anti-Trump agenda of the host of the show he was appearing on. ![]() RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - BmorePat87 - 01-31-2020 (01-31-2020, 11:28 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Yeah, sure he is..

He served in the George H W Bush administration and worked on Rudy’s campaign for mayor in addition to many other Republicans. The fact that he doesn’t fall in line behind a populist leaning GOP president who hasn’t been a Republican as long as him doesn’t mean he a RINO. I’m assuming you didn’t know anything about his political background before you made this post RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - masonbengals fan - 01-31-2020 He wasn't very strategic or he wouldn't have acted like that in front of a camera. They let their true feelings out in that clip. Pretty apparent to most.

I'll take your word on that part, but the video clip showed me all I need to know about the guy, and how he feels about ME.

Yeah, Rick Wilson is a die hard conservative and a lifelong Republican and was/is, quite frankly, ruthless. I'll give him this: he acknowledges the role he played in laying the groundwork for the current shit show.

He has been a never Trumper Republican since the 2016 primaries and he is always pretty direct about his opinions. This, honestly, is nothing new. He has been working to try to bring the GOP back to what it was this whole time and has not been hiding his opinions. In fact, Trump supporters texted death threats to his wife and kid that included his address in them just recently. RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - GMDino - 02-01-2020 Not too far off topic but sometimes I am still amazed that people here will give opinions, be refuted with facts and then say "well, I guess I'll take your word for it but..." without going out and researching themselves. If you want to pass judgment on Rick Wilson (or anyone) at least take a few minutes to find out who is is and what he does instead of parroting your party's talking points.

We are a little busy MAGA’ing. We’ll just have to take your word for it. ![]() RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - fredtoast - 02-03-2020 (02-01-2020, 12:45 AM)SunsetBengal Wrote: I'll take your word on that part, but the video clip showed me all I need to know about the guy, and how he feels about ME. Even Donald Trump thinks the people who support him are rubes. That is why he does not care if he tells the truth about anything. All his followers just blindly believe everything he says. That is why he said he could shoot a man in the middle of the street and they would all would still support him. He is a proven con man and huckster, and those type feed on uneducated rubes.

Hence the reason most American's that voted did not vote for him in the last election. RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - fredtoast - 02-03-2020 I think this tactic says a lot about Trump supporters. Democrats could make ads using all the horrible things Foxnews says them but it would not be very effective. Trump supporters are much more sensative and insecure. They are the perfect target for Trumps fear and hate pitch.

Fine, but I hope you acknowledge he is not the only Republican strategist who thinks that way about you. The Republican base has been played for years now by references to a supposed "liberal elite" who look down on the rest of the nation. It's a form of identity politics, hoping you vote Repub because of who you ARE, nevermind the deficit and medicare cuts.

That's odd, because the Democrat Party has been leaning heavy on the identity politics, since at least the 1960's.

Both parties have leaned on "identity" politics since the Civil War. It's nowhere more pronounced than in the history of immigration and civil rights legislation.

RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - jason - 02-03-2020 The tweets about the Chiefs making the great state of Kansas pround, and the shooting in the police station in Paris, Germany aren't really helping. The fact that they followed that ad is comical. RE: RNC uses Don Lemon's own material against Democrats - CJD - 02-04-2020 Eh. If a person actually thinks Trump is "the smart one" then they are most likely a stupid person. Support him all you want, but don't try and claim things that are opposed to reality. I think it looks bad that these guys were making fun of voters while they're working a supposedly professional job, but that's about as far as my feelings go on the subject. CNN is a bit of a joke anyway. The way they are treating Bernie is just absurd.

See, you all are using the term in the appropriate way, not the way that the majority of people understand the term. Most people don't think of identity politics in this way because it's not what they have been told it is. It would also force them to admit that it is happening constantly and they have fallen prey to it, which creates dissonance. This is why they create a construct in which their side isn't engaging in it to help alleviate the dissonance. |
