Concerning my dismay with regard to the WaPo report of some Democratic organization trying to use underhanded social media tactics, and the possible repercussions, a reader remarks:
Of course, the GOP hardcore already believes all of this and worse about the Democrats, so just how much black goo staining is occurring is highly open to question.
But I don’t think there is any delusions that the GOP hardcore is open to any persuasion. The group of importance are the independents, who make up just about 40% of the electorate.
The independents are the one that are fueling Presidential approval / disapproval polls such as thins one, showing Trump approval at an abysmal 37%. If they become disillusioned with the Democrats, perhaps they sit the next one out, and the Republicans, in all their third-rater glory, have a much stronger chance at both the state and federal levels.
