Joy Behar: Using Trump as ‘Basis for Your Campaign’ Doesn’t Seem to Be Working for Democrats
Mediaite ^ | June 21, 2017 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/21/2017 1:20:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A lot of the talk surrounding Jon Ossoff‘s loss last night has been about whether Democrats have a strong enough message that resonates beyond opposition to President Trump. The hosts of The View discussed this very issue this morning.

Joy Behar in particular said that maybe Democrats don’t have that strong message:

“The fact remains that since Donald Trump won the election… the Democrats have lost three elections. So if you’re using Donald Trump as your basis for your campaign, I don’t know if it’s working. I don’t think people are going towards the Democrats… and it’s a problem.”

The media narrative about the Ossoff-Karen Handel race being about––at least in part–-a referendum on Trump led to tweets like this last night:

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

Behar brought up how Ossoff didn’t even live in the district and said that the Democratic party in general needs “charismatic” candidates and a clearer message.

Jedediah Bila also pointed out the massive amount of out-of-state money Ossoff received in the special election.

Watch above, via ABC.

Joy and her ilk just do not seem...still...to understand exactly what went down on November 8th, 2016.

They just cannot fathom it and it is making them insane.

I love it.

Transposing their own hatred and bigotries onto others appears not to be selling well.

So, in effect, the Dems “new” strategy is going to be to make up better lies.

If a squirrel had Joy Behar’s brain it would jump into a yard full of pit bulls to end its own misery.

That’s because Trump WON even in blue states.

Neither does “Elect us or we’ll shoot another congressman”.

If the MSM wants their candidate to win all they have to do is support the other candidate.

That is how much the MSM is hated by a large number of voters.

Think about it—wouldn’t you start getting very nervous if MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times supported your candidate?

Wouldn’t you presume your candidate had skeletons in their closet or your candidate was lying to you about their real agenda?

Those are the candidates the MSM supports—every time!

Do you think Ryan and McConnell were unhappy that the Democrat lost?

I really wonder what Michelle Malkin thinks now that just about everything she described in her 2005 book Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild has more or less become reality in 2017.

The only message democrats have is a hatred of DJT. That can’t be made any clearer.

Joy Behar doesn't have a low IQ; she's just a mean-spirited person who is blinded by prejudice, besotted by her own ideas. Behar and her cronies have such contempt for people who disagree with them that they cannot think logically much of the time when it comes to politics. It takes a string a losses to make them question a particular political strategy.
