This week, we heard that DNC was considering hiring someone new to manage messaging and there was screaming throughout the social media. I've forgotten who it was, under consideration, but not someone thought of as particularly skilled.
From the era of Karl Rove, Republicans have excelled at getting the daily message delivered to anyone who might be in front of a mic, and hammering it home.
Karl Rove: "Seize the daily news narrative by 5 p.m. each day."
Bannon: "Flood the Zone with sh*t."
That strategy works. The press follows the crumbs, thankful for the quotes and stories.
Dem messaging is all over the place. Schiff is skilled at it. So is Lieu. But not many others. And there is no apparent coordinated effort to pound a principle home.
AND......none of the messaging appears to be hitting Republicans on CORRUPTION, on CRIMES, on the soft spots.
Most of it seems to be of the "Look forward, not back" tone.
