Dear Robert De Niro, Samantha Bee and other Trump haters:
I get that youre angry. Im angry, too. But anger isnt a strategy. Sometimes its a trap. When you find yourself spewing four-letter words, youve fallen into it. Youve chosen cheap theatrics over the long game, catharsis over cunning. You think youre raising your fist when youre really raising a white flag.
Youre right that Donald Trump is a dangerous and deeply offensive man, and that restraining and containing him are urgent business. Youre wrong about how to go about doing that, or at least youre letting your emotions get the better of you.
When you answer name-calling with name-calling and tantrums with tantrums, youre not resisting him. Youre mirroring him. Youre not diminishing him. Youre demeaning yourselves. Many voters dont hear your arguments or the facts, which are on your side. They just wince at the din.
You permit them to see you as you see Trump: deranged. Why would they choose a different path if it goes to another ugly destination?
Of course this is broader than De Niro, bigger than Bee and about more than profanity. Its about maturity, pragmatism and plain old smarts and the necessity of all three when the stakes are this high.
Many Democrats get that. Maybe even most do. In the primaries last week and on Tuesday, Democratic voters by and large chose House candidates whose appeals were tempered and whose profiles make them formidable general-election contenders. Theyre the best bets for wooing less fiercely partisan voters and snatching seats currently in Republican hands....

Care to provide a shred of evidence Frank beyond stammering group think?
Yeah, DJT is dangerous to a dangerous agenda, and that has the RATs freaked.
I’ll bet Frank would’ve given his eyeteeth for an invitation to a Trump cocktail party as recently as 2014.
There are basically two types of Americans these days: those who are better off under Trump and thrilled about it, and those who are better off under Trump but already wealthy enough that they let their insecurities about his personality consume them. Bruni is one of those characters.
That’s right Frank...
I AM...dangerous.
The writer is right to the extent that when you start cursing and swearing you have lost. You have lost the arguement and all you have left is swear words and poison. It becomes obvious even to your own pathetic supporters that you have nothing to give but the spewing of vitriol and bile.
This looks to be a classic Insane Progressive vs. Crazy Progressive column.
Youre not resisting him. Youre mirroring him.

Yeah right...
Where and When did Trump speak the words F#CK and C#NT.
??????????????????????????????????
Oh frank...hurry up, shut up with your “i got this wired” attitude and get lost in the human spirit suppressing group think salary dependant fame seeking media.
I’d also add that if Robert De Niro and Samantha Bee are the ones speaking out loudest for your cause, then your cause is a lost one.
Spot on they are foul mouthed idiots with or without their brand of politics
DeNiro must be a top FBI official. Undercover, of course.
Seriously? Whenever a liberal/leftist is challenged on the actual facts behind their anger, they have none.
You're right, dangerous, dangerous if tax cuts that benefit millions of working Americans is dangerous. Dangerous in that more black and Hispanic Americans are working than anytime since records have been kept. Dangerous in that he has been reducing job killing federal regulations put in place by unelected bureaucrats. Dangerous in that he intimidated a tin pot dictator into negotiations and he might be giving up his nukes. Yes, dangerous but I'm not sure to whom he is dangerous. You and your comfortable pals who want more government, job killing regulations and environmental crap you can ignore while costing us billions. You POS. Grow up and move out of your mother's basement.
