Beware of Overconfidence

[Tom Rinaldo]

Trump is having a melt down this week, he's had them before. Any breaking frightening hard news could wipe the slate clean and trigger another reset. Hillary has been smart to focus on what a disaster Trump is, but she needs to keep broadcasting a strong message of change also. This is a restless public election year.

In a nut shell, give Obama credit for rescuing our economy from the chasm and restoring us to growth - but stress that the mission now is making sure our economy works for all of us. Argue that the failed Bush economy set us back a decade. Now though we finally have the chance to do what Democrats historically do best - fight for and deliver economic well being for all Americans - not just the well connected. That is the change most urgently needed. We crawled our way back out of the pit - it's time to start building our future again.

2. After watching her Monday night

I totally trust her instincts -she knows exactly what she is doing.

3. She did great Monday, but her earlier instincts didn't predict a public mood like this year's.

She's got her stride now but this race has been defined by unexpected fumbles from all sides for over year. Lately it's been defined by Trump's deplorable weaknesses. It may not remain so narrowly focused with two presidential and one VP debate yet to come, and who knows what happening in the world. Trump may well go down in total flames very soon, but if not Democrats have to project a wider message than just "not Trump".

4. She also needs to highlight the importance of the down ticket

races. Without control of one of the houses you can look at four more years of obstruction.
