Harry S Truman had it right. And the voters are resonating his message.

Harry S Truman said this famous quote:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. - Harry S. Truman, 1952 speaking to a National Convention banquet of the Americans for Democratic Action.

This election, half of the Blue Dogs were voted out. Let's start recruiting the real yellow dog Democrats in your districts. This way, they can show everyone right off the bat that they are the true Dems.
