Dems Sound Alarm: Trump Is ‘Carpet-Bombing’ Us in Key Battlegrounds
The Daily Beast ^ | August 28, 2019 | Hanna Trudo

“Where’s all the support? People generally are feeling Trump is beating us on all fronts right now,” one DNC official said.

Several Democratic National Committee members have a message to their organization’s top leadership: President Trump is crushing us.

After pledging to compete everywhere ahead of the next election, multiple DNC members told The Daily Beast they have privately sounded alarms about the organization’s strategy heading into 2020, emphasizing what they view as Chairman Tom Perez’s inability to reach swing voters in Midwestern battleground states who voted for the president. A handful of Midwestern targets were critical to Trump’s general election success in 2016.

Jim Zogby, who co-chairs the DNC’s ethnic counsel, a group that represents people across different ethnic, racial, national origin, and religious identities, says he has been pushing Perez and other party leaders to expand its outreach to voters in the same areas that Trump successfully captured: Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and—a Democratic sore spot in post-2016 politics—Wisconsin.

But that outreach to the committee has fallen on deaf ears.

And he’s doing this with simple rallies, a Twitter account, and a deranged press.

Wait until you see when he starts to spend money.

With the message of gun confiscation and hate for all white people...

“he has been pushing Perez and other party leaders to expand its outreach to voters in the same areas that Trump successfully captured: Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and—a Democratic sore spot in post-2016 politics—Wisconsin.”

If I was a “swing voter” looking at cards showing the current Democratic candidates, I would ask for a new deck.

Gee, since we can’t openly show our support for Trump for fear of Leftist violence, all their polling is in vain.

The premise of the article is rife with old school thinking. They aren't discussing changing what they're going to do if they get in office. They'll do what they've always done: increase debt, capitulate to foreign governments, ship jobs overseas, keep us in pointless international wars, open the borders, and decriminalize violent activity while expanding the welfare state.

They think they can simply change their advertising, and everyone will love them.

Drudge is as big of a liar and hater of President Trump as the dems are.

“Wait until you see when he starts to spend money.”

Reluctantly, I read the article and gave a click. The DNC people quoted are in a panic because President Trump is spending money across the MidWest battleground states.

The Rats say they are being firebombed in Ohio and the President’s re-election committee is tripling its work efforts in PA, MI and Wisconsin.

They’re in a panic as they see President Trump working in general election mode and the DNC head, Perez, isn’t doing much of anything in response.

The RNC continues to outraise the DNC. So, they are quite worried they will lose the battleground states from PA to MI again.

There's a lot of "get off my lawn!" Freepers. If there was a thread about someone getting killed in a car wreck because a deer fell off an overpass and landed on their car, somebody would write, "Serves them right for driving their car under an overpass during deer season!"

Still, most folks here are pretty good.

Sooooo...The Dems are like the NVA around Khe Sanh in 1968, and Trump is like the B-52s the USAF used around the clock to carpet bomb the jungle...

I like that comparison...:)

He's also an aspirational figure to black and Latino men. They want to be rich too and have a gorgeous wife and nice house.
