In reply to the discussion: Rick Wilson absolutely scorches Trump and his supporters with the flames of a 1000 suns [View all]VOX
(22,976 posts)8. Rick Wilson's an interesting guy, a longtime Republican strategist who's done some harsh ads...
Including one particularly below-the-belt spot from the 2008 presidential campaign that hammered Obamas connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright with the tagline: Barack Obama: Too Radical, Too Risky.
But that said, as a "Bull Moose" Republican, he wanted nothing to do with Trump, ever. He helped start the Never Trump movement. It cost him plenty to do so, loss of business and contacts, etc. And he's still not afraid to go after liberals. However, most liberals like him (even over their own objections), and respect him, and he reciprocates.
Wilson's that rare bird who can separate politics from his own interpersonal stuff. He's also funny as hell.

Absolutely reprehensible, but unsurprising. If the current mess ever gets cleaned up, I'm hoping...

The problem is, Trump invents businesses -- Trump U., Trump Steak, Trump Wine.

I wish this could be happening in real life instead of tweets on the internet.
