The POTUS (44) can't win. The Lefties are convinced that he is Bush Lite. The Dumbos (and their knuckledragging, drooling fellow travelers) are convinced that the POTUS (44) is whirling dervish of villains: socialist, Nazi, Communist, crypto-Islamist, and illegal alien. The POTUS (44) needs to go on national TV and proclaim, as FDR shouted in Madison Square Garden in a 1936 reelection-campaign appearance:
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.
The POTUS should go on: "I don't hate all white people, but I hate Glenn Dreck. He and all of his venom-filled crowd can go on howling at the moon." If this is a (fair & balanced) call for national unity against stupidity, so be it.
