Trump and Russia


Recommended Posts

The most interesting part of the article that these idiots in the media and the heads of the Democratic Party don't seem to get.....

Frustrated Democrats hoping to elevate their election fortunes have a resounding message for party leaders: Stop talking so much about Russia.

Democratic leaders have been beating the drum this year over the ongoing probes into the Trump administration’s potential ties to Moscow, taking every opportunity to highlight the saga and forcing floor votes designed to uncover any business dealings the president might have with Russian figures.

But rank-and-file Democrats say the Russia-Trump narrative is simply a non-issue with district voters, who are much more worried about bread-and-butter economic concerns like jobs, wages and the cost of education and healthcare.

In the wake of a string of special-election defeats, an increasing number of Democrats are calling for an adjustment in party messaging, one that swings the focus from Russia to the economy. The outcome of the 2018 elections, they say, hinges on how well the Democrats manage that shift.

“We can't just talk about Russia because people back in Ohio aren't really talking that much about Russia, about Putin, about Michael Flynn,” Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) told MSNBC Thursday. “They're trying to figure out how they're going to make the mortgage payment, how they're going to pay for their kids to go to college, what their energy bill looks like.

“And if we don't talk more about their interest than we do about how we're so angry with Donald Trump and everything that's going on,” he added, “then we're never going to be able to win elections.”

Ryan is among the small group of Democrats who are sounding calls for a changing of the guard atop the party’s leadership hierarchy following Tuesday’s special election defeat in Georgia — the Democrats’ fourth loss since Trump took office. But Ryan is hardly alone in urging party leaders to hone their 2018 message.

Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) has been paying particularly close attention to voters’ concerns because he’s running for governor in 2018. The Russia-Trump investigation, he said, isn’t on their radar.

“I did a 22-county tour. … Nobody’s focusing on that,” Walz said. “That’s not to say that they don’t think Russia and those things are important, [but] it’s certainly not top on their minds.”

Most people who usually vote democrat are way more concerned about their jobs, health care, kid's education, etc... Schumer, Pelosi, etc. living in the Washington bubble, stop watching CNN and MSNBC who push the Russia narrative for ratings and realize that most people besides the crazies on the internet on cable news junkies care that much about Russia.

Let me know when Trump starts renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to the Chinese for campaign contributions.

 

This isn't even comparable to Hilly's bro getting a gold mine permit from Haiti after the State Department gave the country billions.

 

:lol:

It's a non-issue with voters because people don't want to be told that they were manipulated dumbasses.

 

Nobody likes to be sold a lemon and then have it rammed down their throats. The Deplorables especially, the will dig with the entrenching tool even deeper.

 

Human nature. People can't handle constructive criticism for the dumb choices they make.

No. Hate her all they want. It was a two-pony race. Neither are president, neither are lowering our stature in the world. As bad as Bernie-Hill are, they aren't embarrassing carnival barkers.

 

The deal is done, people know they were sold a lemon. It eats at then they were manipulated by the Rooskies. People hate salt in their wounds.

 

And yet, I entertain your strawmam.

Been there, done that, with Hilly as SoS. Bernie would have been interesting, but he was never in the race.

 

And there's no strawman. I was merely asking a question.

Bernie is a socialist. He would have been a disaster. Clinton would have moved to center. But NOT culturally. Edited by ExiledInIllinois
