Once again, the manipulator and chief wants his opponents ‘in a public box’
If Trump knows anything, its how to use leverage. While the Democratic Party tries to get accurate vote counts from last night’s Iowa Caucus, Trump is suggesting the vote was rigged - taunting the Democratic candidates to do a knee jerk thing and publicly disagree with him.
Sanders has taken the bait. Once Trump has them in that public box, defending the mythical sanctity, legitimacy, and inviolability of our ‘Free and Fair’ elections, he is then released to do everything possible to rig the 2020 election, knowing that his rivals are powerless to reverse their public statements and God Forbid agree with him and contradict themselves.
Lets not be fooled twice by this charlatan. Elections can be rigged. That does not mean they are or have been, but they can be. Things are not always what they appear. A thing and a picture of a thing are different things. There are free and fair elections and then there are illusions of free and fair elections. There is reality and magic. In the Trumpian fun house mirror down the rabbit hole wonderland where Trump has lead us, it is increasingly difficult to tell the difference as we are urged to believe in illusions and mistrust reality. I don’t know what happened last night but we should all wait and see.
This is going to be rough election. There will be dozens of knee jerk moments when jumping to conclusions will earn you bushels of likes and prompt boatloads of comments. Take a breath before you take the bait. Wait for the dust to clear before you fire back. There is always free cheese in a mousetrap.
