Come Out Swinging and Keep Swinging

 I haven't been watching the Democratic National Convention, but I've been reading about it and watching clips from it. I'm glad to see the Dems coming out swinging against the current administration. During the last election when Democrats were advised to "go high when they go low" I disagreed with that plan. When you're running against a lowlife, sometimes you have to take it to the streets, come out swinging, and keep swinging on your opponent. I was glad to hear Obama hit Trump on his competency (or lack thereof) and conceit. Aside from everything else that annoys me about Donny, one of things I really hate is his unwillingness to learn. No one knows everything about everything, but we all should be willing to educate ourselves about things we don't know a lot about. Every presidency should involve on the job learning and that's why the POTUS should be surrounded by experts who can provide knowledgeable advice about domestic and international affairs. But when you have someone as POTUS who feels like he knows everything anyway and trusts his "gut" to tell him what to do, then you have the situation we find ourselves in now: a clusterfuck. 

I sincerely hope that the Democrats keep hitting Donny over and over with ads that are comprised of stupid things he's said (and they have a plethora of clips to use). Just play that shit in a loop and keep focusing on his bad decisions, conceit, inability to hire and maintain a cohesive administration, etc. A President doesn't have to be someone you agree with on every issue, but a President does need to be able to show empathy and care about the people and the state of the country. Donny does not have these qualities nor can he even fake them. November 3 can't come soon enough.
