Ruthless Republicans have absorbed, and applied, this lesson light years ahead of pearl-clutching Democrats. My hope is that the Democratic leadership is playing rope-a-dope just before they land a knock-out haymaker. But I'm not holding my breath.
Tsking and finger-wagging never have been, and never will be, effective strategies against an opponent with the moral compass of a rabid hyena.
When you catch them, or their spokesturds, lying, CALL THEM ON IT! Loudly and incessantly. Pollyanna fears of appearing too "Partisan" are pure bullshit. You cannot reason with room-temperature IQ bullies. You have to fight, and bloody their noses, if you want to counter their malignant propaganda. Stop playing catch-up and take the fight to them with both barrels blazing. But NEVER lie! You shouldn't have to, what with the mountains of irrefutable evidence of their malevolent treachery. Take 'em to the woodshed for a "Come-to-Jesus" moment.
