Democratic Senator: Maybe We're Talking Too Much About Russia, Voters Don't Care About It

YA THINK DUH!!!!! you wore russian out two months ago. If you read both sides, its clear the democrats are finally very very worried. They realize their entire hate on trump strategy has failed.

After the defeat of Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s special election, some Democrats are having an epiphany: maybe we’re talking about Russia too much. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where he was asked by Willie Geist if the party should keep shifting to the Left or gravitate towards the center. This comes after some left wing groups said that Ossoff lost because he was too moderate. Murphy said that his party needs to be “hyper focused” on an economic message that says the Democratic Party wants prosperity for everyone, not just millionaires and billionaires (aka the Democratic donor base). On a side note, that’s true since 42 percent of Obama voters who flipped for Trump felt that Hillary Clinton would favor the wealthy. At the same time, it highlights the collapse of Democratic election messaging.

Wow, I guess being the last one to get it is better than not getting it at all

I think reasonable Democrats have probably known this for a while but did not want to step in and earn the ire of the more radical Democrats and their supporters.

Politics still revolves around wallet economics. That motivates people at the polls. Whether right or wrong, a lot of people voted for Trump because they trusted him with the economy. That is a big deal. Going off about Russia and spending all the effort on it is a losing issue at least until something definitely is proven. Otherwise democrats could be walking into the biggest trap of all, having Mueller come out in October of 2018 saying "we find nothing." Then what? With the mid terms so close they will have no message. That's why quite a few dems are coming out now after the GA special election saying "we need a message."

At some point one of the adults in the party is going to be forced to step up and restore sanity.

I agree. But so...keep losing? They see this strat not working, losing elections......and yet they cannot 'step in' in fear of the 'more radical liberals?'

Cause that still says more about them than it does the radicals. The adults in their Party need to step up. But don't.

Well said. However, I think they've personally let the cat out of the bag. There is no going back for some of these lost souls(Bo).

Russia isn't going to go away - partly because Trump keeps tweeting about it

Naaaaaaaaa, keep on it. Eventually, they'll convince me that I voted for Trump b/c of Putin.

But your majorities have gone away, Bo. So has your agenda, Obamacare, Paris Climate, the TPP, and sanctuary cities. We own Washington.
