Midknight Review -- new and revised: Perhaps I was the first to see his strategy, but now, 24 hours later, even his enemies see what he has done

Jonathan Allen / NBC News: How Trump flipped the script on Pelosi and The Squad :

"So sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel with a true and unbridled passion. Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, 'RACIST,'" Trump tweeted Sunday night.

While Democrats aren't likely to see any similarity between Trump's record and Ocasio-Cortez's shot at Pelosi — she said it was "stupidly untrue" to think she had played the "race card" against Pelosi — Trump surely saw an opportunity to frame the pair of dust-ups for his own base and swing voters as twin examples of Democrats unfairly accusing political rivals of racism.

And while many Democrats disagree with The Squad on policy or tactics as much as they did before the weekend, the collective defense means there is now a public show of solidarity.

As much as it's a mistake to think that every slur Trump issues with his mouth or his fingertips provides evidence he's a master of advanced game theory, it's also an error to assume there's no method to his messaging.

Editor: In short, Trump has forced Pelosi and company to defend the four subversives within their midst, and, in so doing, identify one of the several campaign strategies Trump hopes will take him to victory in 2020 . . . . . and it looks like it is working.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
