      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON*

      Isolating & focusing on the most extreme, ignorant & bigoted voices in the Democratic caucus is a rational strategy. But doing it in the crude, ugly way Trump has is self-defeating.https://twitter.com/EsotericCD/status/1151644904206020608 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON*Verified account @EsotericCD
      Whether or not Trump intended it initially (rather than just being another bigoted brain-burp), it's obvious at this point that he's leaning into demeaning and attacking "The Squad" to make them the face of the Democrats in 2020. Axelrod is right: it's a cold, hard strategy.

      When your strategy is to illustrate the extremism of the other side, you need to stay cool yourself in order to make the contrast work.

          And if one actually exacerbates the violent irrationality of the rhetoric in order to draw the same response, the rhetoric is just plain diabolical. Nobody wins when the most vehemently stupid divide the spoils between them.

          I agree, but if Trump is pulling a Pied Piper to steal the metaphor from the Hillary campaign, the first goal is to ensure the loudest and most extreme becomes permanently installed as the de facto voice. There's no question the four have basically supplanted Pelosi this week.

          I don't know. Republicans have been trying for years to expose extremism on the left, but rational arguments often fail to inspire. Unfortunately, Trump's bare knuckled approach seems to work, especially now.

          Your comment section is always chocked full of people who think right wing extremism currently holding the highest office in the land is okay because of left wing congresswomen.

          They don’t mind extremism. As long as it’s on their side

          I wonder if a lot of that is baked in and a few months from now the current controversy will be a distant memory and so the edge will be removed, but the left’s emotional investment in the Squad by the seeds implanted now will continue in bloom.
