I would say instead, incorporate it into an interesting narrative. Cleetus and everybody else likes comprehensible and interesting stories. Unlike the Republicans, the stories would be non-fiction.
Not being from a state with Senate races this month, I don’t really know how many stories the candidates told of individual Obamacare success cases. Or even of unemployed people finally getting a job after the Bush economic catastrophe. But I’ll bet there weren’t many.
How about, “The Republicans think that if the richest kid in class is allowed to keep taking your lunch money, the rest of you are going to eat better. How’s that working out for you?”
Courting voters who never show up.
That’s a feature of the MSM, not a bug. Who do you think are the shareholders of these media corporations?
Voodoo-nomics then. Failure-nomics now.
“We tested the Republican ideas and they failed, they failed spectacularly.”
To be fair, no they didn’t. They succeeded at doing precisely what they were designed to do.
I like Warren too, and agree with all of her points about the GOP trickle-down ruse, but the last time I saw a presidential candidate pulling out charts and graphs, it was Ross Perot, and that didn’t turn out too well for him.
The right will slam Warren for being too professorial. The charts will only make it worse. Paul Ryan will turn them upside down and say the opposite, phase canceling Warren’s message.
My (WO) MAN!
If only there were more Elizabeth Warrens in the Democratic party, instead of the quivering piles of jello like Chuck Schumer and Claire McCaskill who stand for nothing.
I will never forget the last year or so of W’s presidency. It was frighting.It was the only time in my life the economy was crashing so fast you you could actually see the difference. You would go out shopping and there where less people in the stores. Rush hour was not so much of a rush.
The GOP wants to forget it ever happened,but I can’t. I think The American People deserve an apology, and explanation of how they are going to prevent it from ever happening again
Legitimate criticism of the charts. For me, the point of the charts is not to do the selling, but to establish the essential point that we have already been doing what the wealthy have been telling us we need to do to make the nation and its people prosperous.
I would bet that 85% of GOP voters and a substantial minority of Dem voters believe that the nation hasn’t tried and tested the GOP’s economic policies and theories. If you are hungry for change, and believe that the GOP way is a new way, the GOP way becomes attractive.
And I will wager not one national TV nightly news even mentions it.
Another thing you will nothing of either is the people chairing these committees. All hatchet men. Just like the Bush years.
Already passed in the House today are restrictions on whose scientific “facts” will be listened to.
The death of the EPA is at hand.
People had better be willing to be activists for the next two years…and beyond.
Needed to hear more of those words from other Democrats before the election.
Well, you’d also to show a large swath of the 1990s where the same trends continued, yes?
Joe and Mary also get the GOP-friendly media’s attention, sadly. Warren’s comments won’t get the MSM headlines.
This definition could be as significant as santorum.
He kicked major butt, for an independent weirdo with a VP candidate who didn’t want the job of independent VP candidate, much less to be in a position where he might become the US President without warning.
But, yeah, you don’t want to be known as the Ross Perot wannabe.
I should have added: "Color me {{{SHOCKED!}}} ~grin!~
That’s what the problem, too many of them won’t state the obvious.
All you have to do is look at GOP-led states to see how disastrous their policies really are.
