But a New York Times story published last month about the strategy puts a decidedly different spin on it. Democrats say the strategy of spotlighting the Koch brothers activities is politically shrewd, the story says. The majority leader [Reid] was particularly struck by a presentation during a recent Senate Democratic retreat, which emphasized that one of the best ways to draw an effective contrast is to pick a villain, one of his aides said. And by scolding the Koch brothers, Mr. Reid is trying to draw them out, both to raise their public profile, and also to help rally the Democratic base. The approach stems, in part, from Democratic-funded research showing that many voters believe the political system is rigged in favor of the super rich.
PICK A VILLAIN. ITS HOW THEY DEMS ROLL.
YAWN! Hundreds of people at the Bundy Ranch last Saturday with at least an equal number of recording devices yet thus far NO RECORDING of the statements claimed by the NYT have been produced.
I have a weird feeling that Adam Nagourney of the NYT will claim he heard the Bundy “statements” from another source. Remember, NO RECORDINGS have been produced.
