We have to reinterpret Michelle Obama’s often-quoted words, "When they go low, we go high."

My take: "When they go for the gut punch, we need to go for the jugular!"

Someone once said on DailyKos, “When they go low, kick ‘em in the balls.” It’s been my political philosophy since.

Despite where it's coming from, I pretty much agree with the philosophy of Ingrid Lewis-Martin here: “I’m not Michelle Obama. When they go low? We drill for oil. I’ll meet you down in the subbasement."

We need to be a more outwardly aggressive party. Leaning back and saying "Well, our norms and institutions won't allow us to do X, Y, Z" is plainly not working.
