WOW...that is an amazing post..
Have you been saving that up, or what??
You really did dissect those demrats...didn't you.
To go the opposite direction....the Republicans better not make THEIR message..that the dems don't have a message, or they will be in trouble also..
We don't want to hear about the dem's lack of plans...we want to hear what THEY think should be done.
I try to see that portion of the program before commenting on what was said, so it took until after ten mountain time to put it into words. But, I sometimes do wait until later on to post.
I agree with you on Republicans having a plan. That's been lacking with some on our side here in Denver and we're working to make sure candidates realize the need to have plans and positions we can promote. And, you're right. No plan does not beat no plan. We have to be able to say here's what we propose and why, and then ask what the other side proposes? Me Too is not a viable candidate position.
Nor can Republican candidates simply say "I'm a Reagan Republican" or "I'm a Bush Republican." More than ever before our side is saying "this is what 'I' believe in and would do."
Some of them are already falling into that trap, accusing the DEMs of having no plan. That sets up a wave of back and forth that is void of substance, gives the DEMs a chance to accuse the GOP of being wrong, but without having to show their plan.
It takes uncommon discipline to persistently address opposition attacks in substantive terms.
