Keep Talking, Please!

“It is glaringly apparent that many who support the present administration are either racist, steeped in religious beliefs, ignorant, or as my mother used to say, ‘just plain dumb’.”

This sounds eerily similar to what Hillary Clinton said about Trump supporters (“basket of deplorables”) prior to her defeat in 2016. (“Basket of deplorables” is a phrase from a 2016 presidential election campaign speech delivered by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton  on September 9, 2016, at a campaign fundraising event, which she used to describe half of the supporters of her opponent, Republican nominee Donald  Trump.) So who made this initial statement about those who support the present administration? It was Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), who tried to challenge Pelosi for the House speakership. She read a constituent letter that trashed Trump supporters on the House floor on 6/11/19. Why would she read such a thing on the House floor? Does she not realize that this sort of commentary will just fire up potential Trump voters in Ohio. A Trump victory in Ohio is critical to his re-election in 2020.

Keep talking, Marcia!


On the same day as Rep. Fudge read this obviously anti-Trump voter statement on the House floor, thus, in essence, making it her own, Hillary Clinton was at Wellesley College again saying things that can only come back to hurt Democrats in 2020. In a speech during an alumni event, she insinuated that Trump’s America could be more dangerous than…Nazi Germany. Now this may play well with the partisan Wellesley crowd, but this sort of comment can only fire up potential Trump voters in 2020. 

Keep talking, Hillary!

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg criticized President Donald Trump on Tuesday for turning the United States into a country that looked more like Russia. “Russia nationalism, xenophobia, homophobia, and repression of the press are both highly disturbing in that country and disturbingly ascendent in our own country,” Buttigieg warned.

I understand that for some reason unbeknownst to me, the mayor of South Bend is on the campaign trail, and he needs to play to his audience, but again this sort of bombastic rhetoric can only fire up potential Trump voters in 2020.

Keep talking, Mayor!


These bonehead statements came after Joe Biden stuck his foot in his mouth again. He made a campaign promise to “cure” cancer if elected president in 2020 during an event in the state of Iowa on 6/10/19.

“I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see the single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer,” Biden told supporters in Ottumwa, Iowa. At least he didn’t proclaim that he invented the Internet, but Joe, “really!”

Keep talking, Joe!
