Democrats were visibly frustrated and second-guessing themselves on Wednesday after Democrat Jon Ossoff lost Georgia's special congressional race the prior night.
The election outcome has caused activists and Democratic lawmakers to regroup and try to develop a new strategy for taking back the House of Representatives in 2018. Democrats had hoped to make the special election a referendum on President Donald Trump's agenda by electing Ossoff, who had raised about $25 million.
The loss hit Democrats hard, and some questioned the leadership and strategies under House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), according to the New York Times.
"Our brand is worse than Trump," Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio) said, urging Democrats to make a clear economic message an urgent priority. "We can't just run against Trump."

No-your brand is not worse than Trump. You started from the bottom and went down.
What a joke they are.
Their values are so far leftist that they are getting trounced.
And typical of leftists, they think it is all about branding and imaging. Just run some focus groups, re-brand, re-image, ,.... lol.
They lack core foundational Christian and Constitution basics.
But they hire some of those which will try to “create” an image.
In other words,
The democrats are #FAKEAMERICANS
You pick the wrong side of every issue. How do you THINK that’s gonna work for you? How do you think it will work for citizens?
Hey Dems I got news for ya..Trump’s brand is MUCH BETTER because he keeps on WINNING while you keep LOSING, see there is a difference
Good work if you can get it!....................
Jim Dean, the chairman of Democracy for America, a liberal activist group, blasted Mr. Ossoff overnight for “lighting millions of dollars on fire” and delivering an “uninspiring message” that he predicted would fail again in 2018.
well, I know what they need to do...
they need to campaign to the right and govern from the left.
THAT’S THE TICKET!
Exactly! They're so dishonest they wouldn't even think of simply telling people what they believe in, what they want for America, what they value. Instead, they always have to "craft a message" and pretend to stand for things they think voters might like.
Unfortunately there are many stupid people who will believe anything they say.
I’m other words, they should copy the republicans.
Well said. Someone else last week, actually a writer for a leftist blog said - truthfully - that the dems need to stop telling (sob) stories and start making blueprints.
More sad faces! Love it. Keep crying and we’ll keeeeeep ooooon winiiiiiiiing!
Try selling Democrat Steaks and they’ll really see how bad their brand is.
Your brand sucks because the underlying product - Leftist policies - simply doesn’t work anywhere it has been tried (i.e. your product sucks, too) - and EVERYONE knows that.
Try Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom, rather than the Marxist-Leninist model of economic slavery and the ultimate in totalitarian repression, and show that you mean it for at least a few decades, and maybe then your pathetic brand will be worth more than a bucket of warm spit.
It’s not the brand; it’s the product. The lefties have NOTHING to offer. “Oh, we’ll help the poor”, “Oh, we care so much”, “Oh, we’ll let people be whatever sex they want to be according to how they feel”.
Everybody knows those are sweet nothings. Next thing you know, they’ll be whistling Dixie.
GMTA. Ya beat me by 4 seconds.
When the Dims figure out that their best bet to get leftist policies passed is to run as Republicans and govern as RINOs, we’ll be in real trouble.
Let’s see.
The democrats want to attract conservatives/republicans.
You know, the people that voted for Trump.
So, the democrats insult the exact group of people they need.
Who the democrats have insulted:
- “Bitter clingers” you know, the people that own guns and are Christian.
- “Basket of Deplorables”
- “Pro-life voters” https://heatst.com/politics/democrats-tell-pro-life-candidates-and-voters-you-cant-join-our-party/
- “intolerant people” the normal traditional family type person, the kind that doesn’t support transgenerism or homosexuals
This is a huge swath of people that the democrats continue to insult and these people are not wanting anything to do with democrats.
And I am sure I missed other groups.
