Leftists Melt Down Over New York Times Op-Ed Declaring 'Trump Can Win on Character'

[Billiejeens]

The New York Times’ editors should exercise some caution.

After all, at this rate their deranged liberal readers might drag them into a Maoist struggle session.

On Monday, the Times printed a guest essay by National Review editor Rich Lowry entitled “Trump Can Win on Character,” which left deranged liberals frothing at the mouth over what amounted to a rather mild bit of commentary.

Indeed, on substance, Lowry made an argument perhaps best described as uninspiring-but-plausible.

“Everything has to be connected to the deeper case that Ms. Harris is weak and a phony and doesn’t truly care about the country or the middle class,” Lowry wrote.

In other words, former President Donald Trump needs to make the 2024 election a referendum on Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ character.

Lowry, in fact, suggested that the former president focus on Harris’s myriad weaknesses.

“To wit: Ms. Harris was too weak to win the Democratic primary contest that year. She was too weak to keep from telling the left practically everything it wanted to hear when she ran in 2019. She is too weak to hold open town-hall events or do extensive — or, at the moment, any — sit-down media interviews,” the National Review editor wrote.

Deranged liberals have the temperaments of totalitarians, which could earn NYT editors punishment for stories not wholly critical of Trump.

Lowry is somewhere between a Never-Never Trumper and a simple Never Trumper - but even he realizes what a disaster Harris would be for the country - Like the stream of Democrats putting country over party by supporting President Trump now.

She is a weak, weak woman. That she is currently being propped up by the leftist collective doesn't make her any stronger.

Like Biden, it is her weakness, and thus her controllability, that makes her most attractive as a candidate to the Party-Media-Beauracracy Complex.

Trump Can Win on Character​

Aug. 26, 2024


It’s basically a tossup race, but a successful Harris rollout and convention, coupled with a stumbling Trump performance since Mr. Biden’s exit, have created a sense of irresistible Harris momentum.

As usual when he falters, Mr. Trump is getting a lot of advice from his own side.

For as long as Mr. Trump has been in the ascendancy in the G.O.P., he will go off on some pointless tangent, and Republicans will urge him — perhaps as they hustle down a corridor of the U.S. Capitol — to talk about the economy instead of his controversy du jour.

A close cousin of this perpetual advice is the admonition that Mr. Trump should concentrate more on the issues in this campaign. Neither recommendation is wrong, but they are insufficient to make the case against Kamala Harris.



Presidential races are won and lost on character as much as the issues, and often the issues are proxies for character. Not character in the sense of a candidate’s personal life but the attributes that play into the question of whether someone is suited to the presidency — is he or she qualified, trustworthy and strong, and does he or she care about average Americans?

Presidential races, in this sense, are deeply personal; they usually involve disqualifying the opposing candidate, rather than convincing voters that his or her platform is wrongheaded.

An interesting discussion might be why did the NYT decide to print the piece by Lowrey? Is there a change of heart at the top of The Not-So-Great Grey Lady?

Kamala's character is best exemplified by her participation in the Jussie Smollett hate hoax...

What these people don't understand is what Xi wants. What history has shown us about the Chamberlains vs the Churchills.
The West can't keep repeating the same mistakes and rewarding the same actors and tactics.

It's funny how excited MSM was in the U.S when France and UK defeated the "far-right". They have been noticeably silent of late when they realize what that actually means for world peace and deterring China and Russia.

The problem with trying to win on character is that the Left - political and Media - have created a cornucopia of slanders (many of which are partly true) on which they base their assessment that Trump is a total reprobate. Trump was impeached twice. Trump is (was) a serial adulterer. Trump is a convicted felon. Trump bragged about grabbing women by their private parts. Trump called Neo-Nazi's "fine people." Trump stole from his subcontractors and investors. And on, and on. The list is almost endless.

And most voters do not know the underlying facts, and don't care enough to research them.

The best attack strategy is to point out the long list of awful or demonstrably stupid policy statements she has made, starting with when she ran for President in 2020 and continuing to this very day. The good part about that is that her handlers recognize how stupid and unpalatable they were and are trying to subtly walk them back, hoping nobody notices the 180 degree turnaround. Parenthetically, calling her stupid also has some traction, as even her supporters now recognize that there is a very good reason why her handlers won't let her speak extemporaneously or answer questions that are not screened in advance.

But make no mistake, no matter how awful KH is, this election is actually between Donald Trump and Not Donald Trump. The name or characteristics of the Democrat candidate are irrelevant. The policies will still be the same weak, counterproductive bullshit, but none of them is Donald Trump, which is all that matters.

And if you are dumb enough to believe this roll of used toilet paper, I've got a bridge in Lower Manhattan to sell you.
I swear, I own it.
