Dems warn party message lacks punch
MSN ^ | 10/29/18 | Mike Lillis, Amie Parnes

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."

You just have to wonder where the breaking point is in Venezuela? Shows you very graphically why we need to keep Central and South Americans out of the United States. They are too used to being sheep, and that is exactly why the RATs want to bring them here. Then then will have a malleable, reliable, low-expectations population to keep them in power forever.

This story flies in the face of the constant drumbeat that the Democrats are going to retake the House. Behind closed doors the RATS are scared to death about this election. The party leaders and the consultants know their support is hemorrhaging all over the country and people are catching on to what their party stands for!

Do you seriously think there are FReepers on this site that have never voted before and that if for some bizarre reason they have never voted before, that they would vote democRAT on their first vote ever cast?

You're preaching to the choir on Free Republic. I have seen no evidence that there are people on here that have never voted. Or that they would even think of voting for the opposition.

After all, Free Republic is the most conservative political blog on the internet.

Maybe try your invitation to vote conservative over at the democRAT Underground site. You might have more luck there.

In all honestly I’d love to read what the specific goals are for the Democratic party, how they plan to accomplish them and what downstream peripheral consequences have been considered. It’s clear what the very short term goal is they want to accomplish, but that’s all I ever read or hear about. (resistance to everything conservatives or Trump offers, talks about, thinks about, didn’t say enough about, does or did not do)

It’s the economy dummies! What’s the message against a roaring economy, record unemployement and higher wages?

What is their message?
1- Hate Trump
2- Free stuff
3- Kill babies

There is punch there, but its the Kool-Aid kind that kills.
