The fact that bloated angry foul-mouthed MAGAt swine Stephen Cheung has been pushing "memes" on the White House twtter account of Jeffries in a handlebar moustache and sombrero shows they're afraid of him, because you never try to nullify someone's power if you are largely indifferent to them.
Jeffries is a Democrat who is also a man of color and who is not Tim Scott or Byron Donalds, and a guy like THAT who is NOT afraid of Trump is EASILY Trump's WORST NIGHTMARE.
The only bigger fear Trump would have is if all of the above applied to a WOMAN, as it did with Kamala Harris. Trump is accustomed to living in a Robert Palmer video like "Addicted To Love," where the women are basically white, surgically enhanced druids who exist for no reason other than to flatter him and pleasure him when he demands it. I think Trump's fear of Harris goes much deeper than most people imagine.
Jeffries isn't a "performance artist" like Jim Jordan. While he...like anyone else...conceivably enjoys seeing himself on TV, he doesn't LIVE FOR IT like Jordan. He's a guy doing his job who gets press coverage, not a monkey who gets a banana for riding a tricycle across a variety show stage on TV.
I'm pretty much convinced that if Jeffries displaces Johnson after the midterms, we can start the countdown clock on Grampy McRaperson's reign of terror.

(20,592 posts)All I know is that Jeffries would keep Trump up at night. With the rest, it's nicknames and racism and misogyny, Trump's stock in trade. And you're right, no one on that list is "moved by" Trump's insanity.
I just singled out Jeffries because he would potentially run the House, displacing Johnson, and a Dem majority with a strong leader equals "imprachment 3," which would not be part of Newsom, Pritzker or AOC's ammo against him. Jeffries would lead that charge.

(20,592 posts)He's not perfect. And who knows, maybe I'm praising him too much. If I'm NOT, I'd like to see him go feral on Trump.

My fantasy:
Dems retake the house, open investigations into Trumps corruption and impeachable offences, and the new select committee hires as its lead counsel
Liz Cheney!
