    That is the direction you took it in up above, and as I said, yes, all politicians do appeal in that direction, but is has been the direction the GOP has gone in recent years and the example of Trump I offered is the perfect proof

    God save us all from the "capable" hands of Hillary

    How many Dem leaders disagreed with Obama?

    Did you see the cowardly Republicans quiver and shake with fear over Mexican tariffs?
    They are as bad as Democrats when it comes to backing Trump on the wall/tariffs etc.

    Fake news? CNN? WAPO?? -these are Democratic mouthpieces or simple #Trumphaters

    Notice I didn’t claim Republicans don’t appeal to fear and ignorance? But if you want to argue Democrat don’t be my guest. Honestly, I could use the humor at the moment

    Love those that jump into a thread not knowing what it being discussed

    But to reply to your question, how often did Obama purposely play the demagogue manipulating any media to appeal to the less of his base?

    Didn't say they didn't, but never have you seen a Democrat leader play the demogogue by design on a public vehicle that not only allows such behavior but permotes it, mere fact above you couldn't cite a Democrat equivalent to what Trump is doing now pretty much confirms such

    I replied directly to your post -how is that jumping anything?

    Obama/Dems used the soft ignorance of perpetuating that minorities are victims of racism.
    The entire Democratic party is based on ID politics, or white males are keeping them down. -look at the Hillary campaign.

    It creates a victim class that only Dems can solve. It's a terrible divisive campaign when Hillary
    cared only about the "sisters" votes.

    Wrong, but regardless, with all that, you never addressed the question I presented

    I have zero interest in getting into a debate on a troll thread about the levels of ignorance and stupidity Democratic and republican politicians use in appealing to voters. It’s a standard tactic used by almost all and those that argued ITT that their “side” doesn’t do it are full of sh*t

    first off they are not demogoges. The openly say they are opinion shows.
    I mean Hannity and Carlson and Ingraham all say they are not hard news, but news analysis

    Now compare that with CNN Don Lemon ( the only asshat i'm familiar with on that propaganda network).

    Do you recall the NYTimes openly claimed they had to be "advocacy journalists" (WTF that means)
    to stop the danger of a Trump presidency?

    Last time, I agreed with you three times, but also added as the thread evolved into demonstrating to you how it has become the strategdy of the GOP, even gave you clear examples employing Trump as the current leader of that party

    Easily dismissed with the "they all do it," but some do it much more and in an orchestrated effort than the other

    Lemon, Cuomo, ... then switch to CNBC and you can just about pick any one of them ... Maddow, Brzenzski, Todd. Flaming liberals, all of them. Undeniably so.
