https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/07/opinions/why-this-blue-wave-was-no-tsunami-granderson/index.htmlresident Donald Trump speaks in fragmented sentences and fractured truths.
He is an adulterer, a hypocrite, politically clumsy and prone to retweeting racist posts. He has pushed well beyond the boundaries of any rational concept of presidential behavior, to say the least.This is why may politicos thought the 2018 midterm election was going to be a referendum. And it was, in a sense -- but not so much on Trump or the Republican Party as it was for a Democratic Party that continues to struggle to compose a message about what it is for as opposed to what it is against.Yes, the party took the House but the blue wave was not the tsunami party leadership had hoped it would be. This is in large part because the Democratic Party is still searching for its post 2008 identity. It wants to represent the young and diverse, but key leadership roles continue to be held by the old and the white, much like the Republican Party it chastises.In 2010 and in 2014, Democratic incumbents seeking reelection distanced themselves from President Barack Obama's policies, not because they disagreed with them but because they weren't popular. As repulsive as some of Trump's rhetoric and policies may have been to Republicans over the past two years, you did not see the same level of retreat from them in this election as Obama experienced in his 2010 midterm shellacking. Which is why the Democrats victory was not so resounding.Say what you will about the "Make America Great Again" slogan, the reality is that it's effective because it is a clear, proactive message. What exactly was the Democratic Party's message in 2016? 2018? What will it be in 2020?Ten years ago, then-Sen. Obama was elected president behind a clear message of hope. Since then it's been a lot of finger-pointing and name-calling.Don't get me wrong, taking the House is an important step for the Democratic Party's revival. And there were some fairly historic victories worth mentioning as well, such as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar becoming the first Muslim women elected to Congress, or Jared Polis becoming the first openly gay man to be elected governor.But if the party is to build momentum from the 2018 midterm, and not just tread water, leadership must spend more time defining what it is about and less time vilifying what it isn't. After all, people don't eat steak because it's not tofu. They eat steak because it's steak.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
2018Bull. It won't make a difference. This is literally saying "people are going to choose the worst possible option because the better option isn't good enough." It's ludicrous. But damn, the GOP is so good at twisting this shit around to make people believe it makes perfect sense. It's terrifying. And kind of embarrassing, just as a human being.

Literally nothing in this article, you quickly googled, supports your assertion that the Democrats did nothing but "bash their gop rival based on their political association with trump."
Sure they need to hone in a better message in 2020 just as the republicans do if they don't want to lose more seats in the house and senate, where they will be much more vulnerable than they were this year.
Republicans closing argument was about a fake invasion (that it seems they are already done with as Trump hasn't even mentioned it today). Dems were talking about healthcare and the economy.

That opinion piece is kind of garbage. MAGA isn’t clear and concise, which is why it was used. It was a way to tap into the emotions of a mythological past that paired well with a message of bigotry on the campaign trail. Because someone isn’t picking up on dem’s message doesn’t mean it’s not there.
And the election went as predicted and is a very good sign for dems in 2020. Whether it was built up as a blue wave or dems will flip the house isn’t really relevant except to the press who have to fill air tome by building a narrative.0 -

If he really believed that the election was as wonderful for Republicans as he portrayed in his tweets and 'press conference' today, he would have waited to (have someone else) fire Session. He did it today to get the country focused on something besides the Dems taking the house.0 -
"THE FIELD"Here in Minnesota, I saw TV adds for everything (save for two slam-dunk House seats). I saw one GOPer attacked with Trump. The others were attacked because of who they got money from, etc....same old shit. Nancy Pelosi was used on a handful of Dems, though.
I know the Dems have not nailed their message (if they have one), but let's not pretend the GOP is offering anything of substance beyond "the Dems will let brown people come and kill you."1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

2018This infuriates me. Supposedly the dems don't have a message, like jobs and healthcare and using logic and reason. Meanwhile the GOP only needs to say Boo! and their mouth breathers suck it all in like a cultish megachurch.I guess the dems need to start going low. Michelle Obama was wrong. America understands nothing else.0

2017Yeah, here in WA in that highly contested and funded WA-8 house race, Trump was never even mentioned. Any attack ads against the GOP candidate were attacks on his previous record of cutting health care benefits or losing every state-wide election he ran in. Attack ads against the Dem candidate were that she would increase taxes. Most of the messages coming out of her campaign were about health care costs and accessibility, as well as the GOP tax cuts for the wealthy. She definitely ran on a platform that did not include Trump attacks. She has ideas. She talked about issues."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080

Remember those “talking indictments” that Team Mueller has been filing? Seems he’s going to file some more. Soon. No wonder Team Trump Treason is Testy.
