It's been 4 years since Donald J. Trump proudly billed himself the racist candidate who will make America white again, and my fellow Democrats still have not learned a darned thing about how to defeat him.
My fellow Democrats, you don't beat Trump by trying to shame him over his racist tweets, speeches or policies. He revels in your attacks because you're playing on his home turf. He wants his supporters to hear 24/7 how racist he is and how hard he's working to make America white again.
You and the press are just once again giving Trump piles of FREE ad time.
Every freaking time we have Trump on the ropes, this piece of shit successfully distracts the press AND Dems with some racist garbage and we fall for it every freaking time.
Trump was on the ropes with his photo and quote about old pal, Jeffrey Epstein, plastered all over the national and local news.
And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Trump was publicly defending Acosta's sweetheart deal, ignoring the victims who cried foul and were being interviewed.
Dems should have gone for the jugular and tied Trump's support for accused pedophile Roy Moore to CHILD sex trafficker, Epstein.
Instead of "racist in chief" attacks which only help Trump with his base, "pedophile defender in chief" should be trending all over twitter. Suburban women recoiled from the brown children in cages, but many white women only recoiled Trump when defended Roy Moore. Acosta was a noose around Trump's neck AND GOP strategists knew it. Trump knew it. So he launched this distraction and it worked again.
Trump's a proud racist. He revels in being called a racist as it plays entirely into his reelection strategy.
Trump's not a proud defender of pedophiles and child sex traffickers. He was squirming under the intense spotlight of his history with Epstein and promoting Acosta.
Dems need to refocus back on Moore, Acosta, Epstein... paint him the #1 defender of all pedophiles and he'll bleed support. Tie it to how Trump always claims HIS victims are all liars… push him hard if Moore and Epstein’s victims were liars, too. Paint him into the one corner that will cost him deeply.
I beg Harris, Warren, Biden, Beto, etc., to go after Trump’s real Achille’s heel, his long-time defense of those who prey on CHILDREN vs play into his wheelhouse on racism.
