The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What Cheney meant was obvious: Trump is a sick fcuk. If you wouldn't let a sick fcuk take care of your child, why would you let a sick fcuk lead the country?

If that's the message, it's utterly clouded by the comparison.

It's easy enough to say that because Trump is a sick fcuk, he shouldn't lead the country. Making the comparison to taking care of your child makes a different argument. She's not just saying that he's unsuited to lead because he's a sick fcuk; she's saying that because you wouldn't let Trump take care of your child, he's unsuited to lead.

I think that framing is strategically poor. I hope the Democrats don't adopt it. I think it's critical that Trump be defeated in the election, even though I think that's the less likely outcome - so the Harris campaign has to really up their closing arguments.
