      Exaclty so. The real danger is that if you run Bloomberg (or Biden or Buttigieg) they will campaign on Trump's personal grossness (which everyone knows & is baked into his support) rather than arguments that can actually, you know, convince people. Same as 2016.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1226894443279765504 …

      What the hell do I know, but one of my only strongly held beliefs about the politics of this moment is that reminding people of just how aberrant and piggish Trump’s behavior is doesn’t really get you anywhere. Everyone already knows! https://twitter.com/MikeBloomberg/status/1226580658807504897 …

      Have you spent any time in the suburbs that swung blue to flip the house in 2018? People in those areas are largely motivated by Trump’s personal repulsiveness and the humiliation of having him as president.

      Right but that stuff is baked in. It was striking in 2018 how much Democratic messaging focused on Trump's threat to health care not his personal repulsiveness (which everyone knows).

          How does it hurt to bring up his vulgarity? Can't they do both? Focus on issues AND how repulsive he is?

          this is true but did it factor in more than grossness. You don't really have to mention it for it to be prominent in a voter's mind

          Any Democratic nominee can and will campaign on policy particulars as well as Trump-hate.

          📣Kurt, it’s not “trump-hate,” per se, that motivates me. • I know you know anyway, but I don’t hate t for no-good-reason, I hate him because he’s amply demonstrated how lowly he is.

          What about focusing less on “personal grossness” as a general personality and more on “Donald Trump is a serial predator who paid for his mistresses’ abortions”

          If everyone knows and his base is shrinking, then this should be a cake walk, right?? No. There’s a LOT more going on here than this. But, if the only value is that Bloomberg’s attacks are exacerbating DJT’s personal descent into madness and he exposes himself, I’ll take that!!
