So what are democrats pretending to do?
And in politics, when the facts are bad enough, you don’t have to embellish your opponent’s problems. Today, it is the truth that Democratic candidates and activists have to:
- Avoid saying “All lives matter.” Incredibly, that phrase has become controversial.
- Pretend that a video of a Planned Parenthood executive swilling wine and stuffing her mouth with salad while nonchalantly talking about how to properly kill an unborn baby in order to harvest its body parts is no big deal.
- Pretend that President Obama going to a prison and kibitzing with prisoners is a good use of his time and good imagery. (But if he were to visit a police department to deliver a morale boost, it would rile Democrats everywhere.)
- Herald the agreement with Iran as “historic,” enforceable and good for Israel and other U.S. allies.
- Fake enthusiasm for Clinton’s presidential campaign, as well as either ignore that she is starting to trail in swing states and that her favorability ratings are dropping or just pretend those aren’t bad omens.
- Pretend Clinton appears sincere, effective and honest whenever you see her on TV.
- Pretend that it’s okay to shut down part of a Fifth Avenue luxury department store for a $600 haircut while surrounded by a huge entourage, and that it doesn’t take a toll on Clinton’s image.
- Act like it is reasonable for Clinton to have a non-position on the Democrats’ threshold issue of the Keystone XL pipeline.
