"...there's a risk in outright, perpetual obstruction as well and it's simmering below the surface in conversations between Democratic lawmakers, leaders and strategists as the party debates the most effective path forward: If Democrats protest everything with hair-on-fire outrage, will anything end up sticking with the American public beyond their infinite indignity? If they cry wolf every 12 hours, will the effect of their urgency wane over time? Instead of presenting an alternative vision, will they end up looking simply like a party of outrage?"
"We need to be guided by a positive message about economic growth for everybody and a country that includes everybody," says Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who has expressed concern about the party's focus in reacting to Trump. "We can't respond to everything. You have to decide what to respond to based on what your vision for the country is."
Murphy, echoing many top Democrats, believes that message must be economic-based and populist, consistently articulating to the public why their party can deliver wider opportunity and growth on jobs, wages and financial security than Trump's unique brand of Republicanism.
But the breakneck speed Trump has embarked on during his first two weeks has scattered that focus. The sheer number of controversial fires he's lit on an array of topics has created a dizzying effect for Democrats.
"Whether intended or accidental, Trump's barrage of initiatives is thus far, by sheer volume and audacity, having the effect of confusing and overwhelming his opponents," said Benjamin Ginsberg, a political scientist at John Hopkins University.

A very good question.
There’s not enough Valium in the World for the Dems
That's a pretty tough goal, especially considering the damage that the president of their party did to jobs, opportunity, wages, and financial security over the last 8 years.
The “ canned hysteria” starts with the leadership. The are personally whipping their minions into riots. By the way, the protest against rape in Lincoln today,may have been taken more seriously had some of the participants opted to leave their pink -—— hats at home.
It has been said that the weeping and gnashing of the alt-left is like putting *your tongue on a canker sore*. People are going to tire of it. Many already have.
I say, Carry On.
If they cry wolf every 12 hours, will the effect of their urgency wane over time?
That horse has already done left the barn, they cards have been played out already. They are acting out precisely because the PLAY doesn’t work anymore, just like when they created the KKK after failing to get the Slaves they owned to vote for them.
***SPEWING*** over keyboard!!!!!
Spot on!
It’s just like BLM, it created more hatred against them than sympathy.
Yeah, Sen. Murphy, but those glbt, muslim, illegal, feminist etc grievance groups you cobbled together as a ‘party’ have you by the balls forever. Enjoy your flight to Siberia.
lol
More like the Potty of Outrage.
How many muzzles have been placed in the typically ‘Rat voting Reservations?
Every fifteen minutes Chuck Schumer appears in front of TV cameras to denounce Emmanuel Goldstein, a.k.a. Donald Trump, and there is a rule that every Schumer outburst must be aired...at least Fox News does (I don’t watch the other outlets). You’d think Schumer was President—he is on TV much more often than that other guy.
Obama used the same technique on us for eight long years, but Trump has perfected the art by orders of magnitude.
Get used to being dazed and confused, libtards. He's not going to slow down.
Priceless!
