So it's time for the dems to bring a slander case in direct response.

Yes! I hope they don’t roll over (again). They need to fight on every front. Respond to flooding the zone with a torrent of their own.

The DNC is paid, controlled opposition. The only way they won’t roll over is if there’s a leftist Tea Party that forcibly takes over the DNC and outs all the corporatists.

Sad as that is, I think you’re correct

It can’t be another way. There isn’t much legal limit to campaign contributions and there is a direct link between marketing budget and election results. So in the end, money always wins.

They need to sue him for ten billion dollars like he would do.
