Trump plays political chess but Democrats stick with checkers

 

From 2019: Trump plays political chess but Democrats stick with checkers . . ."Instead, Democrats are now focused on another Trump scandal, and every hour of every day they are focused on it is time not spent showcasing how their policies differ from Republicans. Democratic candidates hoping to talk about their policies are forced to talk about impeachment, which does not benefit a significant pool of candidates still looking to beat out each other in hopes of becoming the party presidential nominee.

"Voters want to know one simple thing. How will their lives continue to improve? Voters on the campaign trail are not asking about impeachment. They are asking about issues. However, Democrats blind hatred for Trump has them rushing, which they have already admitted as they hope to conclude their impeachment inquiry with a vote by the end of the year." . . .

True then, true now. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff then; Al Green and Adam Schiff now.

Fox’s Kayleigh McEnany Slams Media Over Reaction to Trump’s ‘4D Chess’ Move in Gaza: ‘You All Are Playing Checkers’  Video;  "Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany praised President Donald Trump over his plan for the Gaza Strip and slammed the media over its reaction to it on Outnumbered Wednesday.

"On Tuesday, Trump floated the possibility of the United State taking over, rebuilding, and administrating Gaza, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.

"Where some saw recklessness, though, McEnany saw genius.

" 'He [Trump] means what he says. And he says, ‘Well, I don’t want to be a jokester or a wise guy.’ No one no one thinks he’s kidding,” mused Harris Faulkner before handing the floor to McEnany.

" '“No, it’s it’s not a joke. And you’re right, it shouldn’t be a shock,” she agreed. “You know, as I was watching this yesterday, there was this line from [Benjamin] Netanyahu that I wish the media would have listened to. He said, looking at President Trump, ‘You see things that others do not see. You say things that others do not say. And then the jaws drop. And then people sit back and realize, maybe he was right.”

" 'Well, the media didn’t listen to that — those gathered in the room, Kaitlan Collins, others — because I watched through the channels last night and it was absolute pandemonium,” McEnany continued. “I mean, the freak out was only second to June 27th, the day that Joe Biden had that disastrous debate. And when you look at it, I just thought to myself, ‘They haven’t learned the lesson yet.'”

" 'And the lesson is this: Maybe Trump is not trying to take Gaza. Maybe this is a grand part of a negotiation to get Iran to come to the table, to get Iran to hold back the proxies, to get Iran to stop its nuclear warfare on the world. Maybe that’s it,”  she concluded. “My lesson to the media, this one line I wish they would take: President Trump is playing four dimensional chess, you all are playing checkers.

“ 'If they even have a game board,” chimed in Faulkner."
