Teachers without children brainwashing students. No need for evidence or facts. But basic methods of Hitler propaganda, blame your enemies for what you do and lie loudly and often. That’s the extent of any trump campaign.

The Arlington fiasco has me en fuego. Trump can’t lose my vote, he never had it. He doesn’t know the joy of caring for anyone but himself.

That's what they've been doing, blaming their opponents for exactly what they're guilty of. If they think what they're doing is so egregious, why don't they stop?? I believe I know the answer - they have no policy, nothing to offer the people/voters except insults, name calling, and bogus accusations. And, as you said, he has nothing to offer - since he's incapable of thinking of anyone besides himself. And he may be running to stay out of jail, but he's committing the same offenses that got him in trouble to begin with.

If it were me, I would just ignore his comments. Why legitimize them with a response? Why give him air time?

... Republican gesture, the thumb-and-forefinger pinch, to emphasize just how right they know themselves to be, especially when they are SO fucking wrong. It's like flashing a gang sign to let you know they're lower than snake shit in a tire track.
