We have Black women to thank for Doug Jones, for example.

“Bird” is my nôm du chauvinist, really. Especially pronounced “boid.”

I think Biden will do quite well if he lets go of the “reaching across the aisle” idea, maintains his empathetic do-gooder side, and receives counsel from Harris and others from what I hope will be a diverse cabinet/appointees. And I absolutely agree that any “healing” of the nation, so often espoused by liberals, must include holding R’s accountable for their crimes and misdeeds, both in court and in the voting booth.

Well, you’re coherent as far as I’m concerned, but that isn’t saying much, haha.

Women don't generally like to watch people being abused in real time. (Most men don't, either.)

My dad is a blue collar guy. He cusses quite a fair bit when he’s fixing stuff but he doesn’t talk to people like Trump. Trump talks like new money “rich” old money is in my experience gracious.

Yeah he does. When you have real money, you don't need to tell people. The important ones already know it.

The only working class people Trump has even been exposed to are the contractors he's screwed.

Black people, especially black women picked this candidate because they knew white people would not feel comfortable with any other candidate (brown people are not going to gamble their lives trusting white people).

He was clearing sidewalks in Newark after a blizzard while Christie was with his family at Disney World ignoring the state.

I suppose Michael Cohen's argument that he "thought Trump hadn't just set his campaign on fire" isn't invalid. You can't set something on fire if it's already burning....

Even trying to look at this from an objective point of view, it shows how unfit Trump is for the presidency. His campaign has targeted women voters; his campaign strategy of addressing suburban women has been clear. So why would he deliberately behave in a manner that would completely go against his own goal? Why? Because he has no discipline, no impulse control, no long-range planning capability. Which simply reinforces what we already know - he is unfit to be president.

Yeah, he's complaining about "upper middle class commentators" not getting it, while displaying the very out-of-touchness that he is complaining about.
