Great read. Nails it. Too late for the Dems to change now though.

Quote:It’s time for the Democrats to stop bashing President Trump.

It’s not going to be easy, given his policies and personality. It might even mean checking into a 12-step program. But setting a winning agenda is like maneuvering an aircraft carrier. It takes time to change course. And if they want to be on target for the November midterm elections, the Democrats need to start changing course now.

Like it or not, a significant number of Americans are actually happy these days. They are making money. They feel safe, and they agree with with the president’s protectionist trade policies, his call for more American jobs, even his immigration stance.

The jobs growth reports, the North Korea summit and the steady economy are beating out the Stormy Daniels scandal and the Robert Mueller investigation in Middle America, hands down.

So you are not going to win back the House by making it all about him.

Rather than stoking the base by attacking Trump, Democrats need to come up with a platform that addresses the average voters’ hopes and concerns. Not just the needs of underdogs or whatever cause happens to be the media flavor of the week.

Democrats need to look like the adults, not like another pack of screaming kids on the playground.

And they need to start now.

Besides, when it comes to bashing Trump, Donald is doing just fine on his own.

Good luck with that.

The best thing the Democrats can do is tell Hillary that her political career is over. That will force the Democrats to keep their focus on a platform, rather than engaging in petty identity politics.

Democrats lost the middle.

BUT MUH KAMALA, FAUXCAHONTAS AND COREY!!!



Funny. Are all these people cut from one "elite" coast or the other?!? Hunh.

Everyday they continue to erase themselves from normal Americans.

If only it were that easy. Those on deck (pochahontas, camila harris, bernie, keith ellison, corey booker) are even more SJW than hillary.

1, Infrastructure bill
2, Decriminalize Marijuana
3, Sometype of Healthcare act

These are the items that would put Trump at the untouchable mark. Not that the Dems currently have anyone who could actually make a solid case for themselves.

Oh, Willie Brown. You can't stand it. You're itching and you just can't control it.

lol... you had to bash him and identify yourself as one of those "screaming kids on the playground."


Dems....

This says it all:

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what's not to like about that?

I suspect that decriminalizing marijuana is hardly on anyone's radar.

Exactly.


The dims can't create a platform that addresses the concerns of the average voter because it would alienate the far left. They can't create one that addresses the concerns of the far left because it alienates the average voter.

Quite the pickle they seem to be in.

Hard to come up with that platform when your entire party is based on identity politics.

Hard to come up with that platform when your party is more concerned with illegals, refugees, and tranny bathrooms than they are with the needs/concerns with the average WORKING person.

Hard to come up with that platform when your party's leadership refers to those same "average voters" as deplorables and berates them by claiming they stick to "God & Guns".

At this point I think republicans are more likely to do this than democrats.

HEY! What's wrong with "FREE! FREE! FREE!." I kinda like it if I wasn't one of the ones paying for it.

Y'all need to take a picture of that on your cells and show it to crying Liberals when they try to make that point about those poor illegals and start bashing Trump. Heck, even Crying Schemer said it around 2014, now he forgets.

They've lost the ability to do anything but that.
