No debate with Trump.

Democrats are wrong about the debate with Trump.

They insist we have one.

To allow a flood of lies and histrionics to mislead a nation.

We never quite make the argument that fits the fight, meaning in this case, the serial criminal and corrupt acts of Trump.

We should treat Trump as we honestly find him.

He is undeserving of this office.

Shout that out to the world.

You don’t debate an enemy of the people, you indict him in words and ads and promise a restoration of the law and order he’s resisted at every turn.

You don’t allow him the status he craves and needs to overcome his political shortcomings, his failings in the polling.

You don’t want to give him another stage to sow doubt and distrust with his lies and machinations.

We already see how poorly most of the fact checking is executed — after the fact mostly, too little too late.

We’re on notice who Trump is.

You don’t grant a kindness to the man who stole what was most valuable to your family, community and the nation.

Does nobody in leadership know how to fight a lawless despot?

Do we know so little about how to fight like we mean it?

Do we not understand that this race is about the preservation of the republic? Nothing less!

Starve this man on the hustings and batter him for the crimes he’s committed and what he’s done to destroy our comity, our promise of equality, our health and safety, our economy, and the character of a nation that was once considered a beacon of hope and freedom to the world.

You don’t yield an inch to an amoral man withhout participating in his amorality.

We don’t wan’t to have to wring our hands and knit our brows in November, wondering how we could have lost an election to this low life.

Didn’t we have it this time?

We might think that.

Not if we don’t fight for it — in every conceivable way.

There is a heavy darkness enshrouding the nation and the cloak was spread about us the moment Trump targeted Hispanics, and went from there.

Let‘s resolve to put an end to it.
