Michele Obama’s meme four(?) years ago, “When they go low, we go high,” revealed her lack of experience in hardball politics.
DJT educated her and this year she asked if that meme still works.
I learned hardball politics and believe that only tit-for-tat will persuade the combatants themselves to change their game.
What say you?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.well if you want political discourse to devolve to "I know you are but what am I" as the height of rhetoric I suppose encouraging everyone into the mud puddle is the fastest way to get there.

Let it devolve to each of us saying “My #— concern is X and the Y Party will most likely make it real.”
For instance ....
#1, church/state separation and the Dems etc.
#2, quality education and the Dems etc
#3, Med4All and the Dems etc
#4, climate change and the Dems etc
#5, get money out of politics, neither Party, so which independent group?
#6, etc
etc....
#999, tax cuts for the 1% and the GOP etc
Those are some of my concerns. Does devolving to that seem reasonable?
I'm a big advocate of if someone messes with me then I throw everything at them on a scale that makes them regret ever messing with me.

When I know we will not meet again, that works.
When I have to deal with them, perhaps as next door neighbors, that fails.
Michele jump right into the shit show like an experienced pro during the first Obama campaign. The fake feud she had with Hillieary was one of the greatest show pieces of all time.

There always comes a time when to do unto others as they do to you has to be returned with bonuses.

They are simply too stupid to learn better ways? . . . Or as I always said "if my 2 year old won't look both ways for oncoming traffic before crossing the road then perhaps a 2x4 will have to be used to inculcate aversion therapy."
People who feel powerless return it with bonuses. People who think play tit-for-tat, mercilessly.
@FrayedBear Use a 2x4 and go to jail, where you would belong.
@yvilletom lol. I never had to to. Words were sufficient to inculcate road sense. Besides which holding Dad's hand was a protective pleasure.
@yvilletom but seriously what is a temporarily sore bottom compared to a 2 year old dead on the coroners slab mashed up by a truck.
Interestingly when 5 yo a school classmate had that fate at the same bus stop I alighted at. She went round the back of the bus across the road as I walked up the other side of the road.
a big person who is so weak that for any reason he gives a small person a sore bottom belongs in jail, where maybe another big person will make him sore!
@yvilletom I hope that you did not leave too many offspring on morgue tables.
You are American. Isn't being a bully to everyone else in the world then equally deserving of having you ass walloped? America has ben doing it a long time.
I laugh at your vain shouting - I'm reminded of Colonel Blimp shouting at the Frenchman in English in the belief that the Frenchman will understand yelled English when he can't understand spoken English.
@FrayedBear I left zillions of potential offspring on tp.
@yvilletom haven't we all. 
And wasn't it great pleasure.
