Democrats Must Abandon the Moderate Messaging of The White Dude Data Complex

Democrats have their lowest favorability rating since 1994, & still believe they can be "Republican-lite" & win elections by ignoring a progressive, anti-oligarchy message. They're wrong.

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Files—seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

New — White House says Donald Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday.

"On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops. While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House. President Trump is considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter." - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Potentially this is actually ok if Dems hold out long enough that everyone gets their November 1 new rates and then no deal happens; as long as it’s course GOP owns price hikes

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

WATCH: “No. 1 issue I hear about”

Democrats need to keep going hard for
affordable healthcare if MTG is torching the Republican Party for ignoring crushing insurance costs. People’s economic future is on the line.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) a bit more blunt in his message to Republicans:

"Show up to Congress and do your goddamn job."

"Millions of people are about to lose their health care. This is a serious crisis we're in. We can avoid. it."
