(37,648 posts)"A Better Deal" is the slogan that Schumer came up with last year. It pretty much died.
A group of Dems should be out there weekly hammering home ....the tax cuts for the rich, the chaos in the WH, scandal after scandal, the disrespectful behavor of Trump, the closing of all the coal plants when Trump promised the opposite - saying it would be easy to fix, the selling of public lands, and all the rest. The gradual destruction of the soul of the country by the Repubs. Language should be strong & sharp. No namby pamby stuff.
Some go out and address particular issues. Schiff addresses intel because he's on the intel committee. Every now and then Booker pops his head up. Or someone else. But no Democratic Party leaders messaging about the horror going on right now.
People need to hear this repeatedly, or they won't get it, it won't gel as a cohesive picture of what's going on. Like the Repubs messaged about the tax cut bill. They were out in gangs, selling it hard, and it seems to have worked. People think everyone gets a great tax cut! But in reality, the tax cut for the lower incomes is set to disappear over time, while the larger tax cuts for the wealthy, are designed to get larger. I bet few people know that.
