I think Caitlin means that they don't care if they lose because they are backed by the same empire managers. I agree that they rather lose to Trump than win with any candidate that would damage class interests...kind of what happened to Bernie Sanders shill or otherwise...
Of course. Even if they lose, they'll use this as a findraising opportunity while rebranding themselves #theresistance (which is centered on with major corporations and public institutions, not to mention the FBI, NSA and CIA) and crank out loopy conspiracy theories, wile keeping Orange Doofus distracted with scandals and endless pointless Twitter beefs with his fellow morons.
A President Trump will govern as a more dysfunctional version of Dubya.
Dumbya was willing to recite Cheney et al's lines verbatim, whereas Trump opens his mouth and spouts whatever crazy thought enters his brain. He's an embarassment, and Trump is not liked by dems or repubs for that reason, but he has win-ability so they put up with him. In office Trump has no more impact on US policy than a leaf falling outside the WH windows.
Of course. Team R in many way would prefer that Trump lose, in order to get straight to purging the populists and returning to a safe, solid respectable platform of "Invade all, invite all, in debt to all".
You are right, I was just responding to Patrick Powers who addressed that. It is a cycle, "We need more money to get more Democrats in office, we lost the election, we need more money to beat Republicans." Even if they win, they say they need more money to get even more Democrats elected, because they don't have enough votes. Thing is, this strategy is circular logic.
The loopy conspiracy theories are just more propaganda. I completely agree about how Trump would govern as a more dysfunctional version of Dubya despite Trump trying to have distanced himself from him politically, if I recall he tapped a few members of his administration, his and Reagans?
Trump did resurrect several Dubya-era ghouls, Eliot Abrams and John Bolton coming prominently to mind. Watching Trump cultists throw out excuses is 169% pure solid comedy gold.
i get your point, but idk, if the class interests of the pmc are a dealbreaker, they don't seem to care that very much. power and probably especially spoils won't maybe differ that much if driving or in the passenger's seat. fewer spotlights on the latter.
Team D very much care who wins the presidency and the power and spoils that come with it.
That said, they would rather lose to Trump than win with any candidate who injures the class interests of the PMC, such as a populist.
The career of one Huey P. Long is most instructive here.

I agree. But at this point is there any difference between Bolton and Blinken?
