Democrats seek to 'sell' accomplishments ahead of tough midterms
FOX News ^ | March 12, 2022 | By Marisa Schultz

Faced with tough upcoming midterm elections, inflation and high gas prices, Democrats say they need to do a better job selling the American people on President Biden's accomplishments.

While key priorities of Biden's domestic agenda have died in Congress – namely the Build Back Better social spending plan and voting rights reforms – members of the DNC are taking stock of what Biden has gotten done and pushing a message of monumental accomplishment.

"We have a record — a record to be proud of, an agenda that addresses the biggest concerns here in America, in people’s lives, the message that resonates," President Biden told the DNC faithful Thursday. "And now — now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction and repetition."

Democrats acknowledged voters back home are grappling with price spikes on everything from gas to groceries but sought to distance Biden from causing inflation. Party faithful echoed the White House message that the pain at the pump is the result of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and the higher prices are a necessary sacrifice to stand with the people of Ukraine.

"I do think that from the Republican side there is going to be blame," Georgia Democrat Lydia Glaize, a candidate for the state House of Representatives, said of the GOP blaming Biden for high gas prices. "But I can tell you from an American point of view that it's not our fault. We know for sure that this lies in the hands of Russia."

Floyd McKissick, Jr., a former state senator who is active in the North Carolina Democratic Party, said it's "imperative" that Democrats tie the origin of inflation to the start of the pandemic and global supply chain issues that happened on former President Trump's watch.

They’re going to run on Biden’s “accomplishments”?

That’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see how that works out for them.

What kind of accomplishments? Let me give you a few examples.

Tightening the grip of the deep state. Replacing natives with third worlders. Institutionalizing voter fraud and elections stealing. Making America's military a laughingstock worldwide.

Need I go on?

I’m worried about people who think the midterms are in the bag. If we know anything about demoncrats, they will do anything to win.

You can bet a new crisis will erupt before the elections.

If you have McConnell, McCarthy, Dominion and certain SOS and governors in your pocket, they don't need to sell anything to the American people. Just pretend to campaign and let the apparatus do its thing.

There is democrat magic that happens at 2am on election night. Miracles happen at that time for the democrats, when normal people are sleeping.

They can spin and lie all they want but the only thing the voters will see is the price of gas at the pump and the cost of food at the grocery store.

These things are real. As someone once said “it’s the economy stupid”.

“the White House message that the pain at the pump is the result of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and the higher prices are a necessary sacrifice to stand with the people of Ukraine.”

I ain’t sacrificing crap for that Soros criminal enterprise in Ukraine. And take your weenie, fascist deep state and shove it up your dupa, you neo-con traitors.

Was the before or after his lamentations that we little people are just too stupid to not understand how great he has been and it’s all Putin’s fault?
