Democrats are turning their campaign message to the many scandals swirling around the Trump administration, betting that vows to “drain the swamp” will attract voters to their side in November.

The strategy marks an expansion of the Democrats’ midterm agenda, “A Better Deal,” which up to now has focused almost exclusively on kitchen-table economic issues in lieu of the controversies surrounding President Trump and a growing list of people in his orbit.

Astonishing. They truly are without scruples or shame.

By the time the mid-terms come, this slogan will be self-referential for the Democrats.

It will go into the memory hole long before that.

They’re trying so hard to say that Trump is the swamp.

Lol. Always funny to hear Hillary and others talk of how you should play by the rules and get ahead in life. When those people bend every rule to benefit themselves.

Heck Hillary thought she had mechanisms in place to guarantee her victory in the election.

The Hill is filled with Partisan Media Shills, like Mike Lillis, so the DNC can still count on that. Thanks yesthatjallen.

This is the same slogan Pelosi used when G W Bush was in office.
