then no, it's not "important". Because those are the kind of things that Trump voters say they like(d) about him. It's Maher trying to justify his toadying to Trump, by listing the things he likes about Trump.

And no, it's not a "serious look at what we should consider". Because we're not toadies to a rapist, unlike Maher.

+1. Maher is right that voters preferred trump to what we were offering. Until we accept that, we'll keep losing. Silent Type Saturday #9

Where does that lead to though? AZProgressive Saturday #11

Pretty much agree. However, too many GOPers vote by mail for trump to pull that off. And let's say he does, if Silent Type Saturday #12

"No tax on tips" is easier to sell than trying to explain unintended consequences. Plus, VP Harris jumped on it too, Silent Type Saturday #21
