They are doing terrible on the messaging. They need 2-3 guys out on every show every day with a clear defined message. It seems like they are pulling a ‘Bush’ and focusing on their work hoping everyone appreciates their effort and coming along for the ride. The Dems are playing politics 100% of the time. It is on every channel, every type of show - talk shows, comedy, late night, etc.
Yet when the GOP does play politics, I hear it regularly said here that they should NOT play politics but stick to principle.
Seems the GOP House cannot win here on FR which is becoming increasingly fickle.
