Dems warn party message lacks punch

Democrats are sounding growing alarms in the final push before the midterm elections that the party lacks the message it needs to combat President Trump and win back Democratic majorities in Congress.

Some of the comments are positively biting, and illustrate that nerves are on edge less than two weeks before Election Day.

They also hint at the fights that will take place if Democrats under-perform and fail to at least win back the House majority, which would count as a significant disappointment at this stage.

**SNIP**

"There's one issue in this election: Donald Trump. That is it," Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) told The Hill recently. "And this election is about whether the country is going to vote for a mid-course correction."

Democratic strategist Brad Bannon echoed that sentiment adding, "like it or not, the midterm election is a referendum one the president and the party of power."

"People ask what are the Democrats for? We are for the people, for lowering their healthcare costs by reducing the cost of prescription drugs. We are for bigger paychecks by building infrastructure of America and we are for better government by reducing the role of money in politics," Pelosi said Monday. "It's not about President Trump. I've said to them don't even mention his name."

She didn't get the memo.

That's funny. I thought the DemonRat Party message was "punch Republicans." ???

If you have never voted before, THIS is the time to cast your first vote and vote for a conservative. We MUST keep the demorats from taking ANY seat within our government.

To bad Democratic Party, you have already nationalized the midterms and your candidates will suffer mightily.

All of this going on while your ginned up border invasion has people voting against you like their lives depended on it.

[tomkat]

Preach it, FRiend !   :-)

[TomGuy]

Try “Lean Forward”.

That sounds like a winner.

[MtnClimber]

The democRAT party’s dirty tricks have sure been on full display the last few years.

Libtards already pointing fingers BEFORE red wave hits? They must be getting some seriously bad internals.

The current message of the Democrat party is the incoherent screaming that was heard in the background of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

In recent weeks they’ve added “Come and get your Free Government Sh*t!” to that.

Then number one talking point in their ads in this market (SW Pennsylvania) is the GOP Candidate xyz voted for allowing insurance companies to charge more to people with pre-existing conditions. TV, mailers and everthing else pound on that theme either because they voted against or spoke against ObaMaoCare, that gave everyone the "right" to buy health insurance at the same price regardless of pre-existing conditions.

And, hell, I should be able to buy auto insurance after I have an accident.

They have no message....

Their message is “Hate Trump”.... that’s not a winning message.. No one wins by simply saying “the other side is evil” and that’s it.

"She didn't get the memo."

Cancel the fireworks! Cancel the balloon drops! Tell the DJ's to take the night off...

Donald is triangulating, eating their lunch. This leaves the only “punch” being cockamamie accusations.

[Parley Baer]

Their only message is to block anything that President Trump does.

[TigersEye]

Yep. Sounds like a good guess to me. :)

[TigersEye]

Rinse and repeat.

lol

[Billthedrill]

They waited until one week before the election to figure this out?
