1- elex are not won by 3D chess but mobilizing/demobilizing voters
2- doesn't matter what POTUS "wants" Ds to do. No matter what THEY do, HE will set a fire to inflame/turnout his base. It's all he knows. Fear hate rage memes /1
4- ground game matters a lot
5- Alas this now includes online ground game which is an asymmetric equalizer. There is no balance of power in information domain. I DON'T MEAN everyone should run trolls /3
POTUS's is simple, flexible, dishonest: this adaptability makes it a strong political mechanism. His base knows how to frame stories in the narrative, how details fit. Other Rs don't matter.
Ds need one. Badly. Step one: remember who enemy is /4
Bolster those who want to see a way out of this circus.
Dismay those who thrive on the circus. Take away their space. /5
He will continue to TAKE AWAY SPACE to challenge him. No press briefings. Etc.
Make your own space. /6
Will add later.
But clarity on I REALLY DONT CARE DO YOU re POTUS "3D" chess. He doesn't. /7
