and Republicans would be parroting that all over the place. Panic is a great word and will drive trump wild. It will also stick in the minds of people. Everyone should be talking about how he panicked and called up the NG and Marines when they weren't needed. He was scared. He's a wienie. A pathetic little man-child afraid of a handful of people clear across the country. Anyone who thinks simple words don't matter hasn't been paying attention.
We can point out that he wants to have troops in the street for another reason entirely, which is no doubt true, but that won't stick in the minds of people the way just saying he was scared. We need to get way smarter about our communication. JMHO
Edited to add: It's great to see you back William! We were worried about you.
