      I’ve seen very few elected Democrats talking about or campaigning on Stormy Daniels. I think this is a mischaracterization of what’s happening. The issue is more that there’s little oxygen left for anything but the unfolding of the chaos of Trumps presidency.https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/992490927955509248 …

      This is true and has wide political implications. Because knowledge of Trump's dishonesty is baked in, there's no more marginal votes to be gained from emphasizing it. His lies should be corrected but Democrats need to focus on issues. https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/992486783723163648 …

      In that sense it's very similar to last months before 2016 election, when Trump clown show prevented Hillary from getting her many substantive policy positions out.

          Yeah the Press was fixated on the non email scandal. The clown show could of ended and the Press wouldn’t of aired her policy issues. Nice try, Jeet

          Hillary made her own choices in those months. And the Democratic Party, in which I remain, was largely wrecked by the Clinton stranglehold.

          Her policy positions also faced the complication of being competent, but utterly boring. Clinton wld've done well to embrace some of Sanders' proposals, earlier & more completely. Free college - not for 85%, but 100. Medicare for all, even as a long-term goal. Bold, exciting.

          Slightly different take. Namely, if Ds are ones talking about it, evangelical Christians likely distrust them. But if Stormy keeps getting Trump to talk about it in this weird way? If he can't shut up about it, he's going to burn himself to the ground.

          Folks wanted that wall, a Muslim ban and change from Obama. 2016 was a screw you to him mainly. The two folks that said in so many words Obama wasn't big shit (sanders and Trump) won support and attracted the same wwc voters.pic.twitter.com/5uSPz5XKyq

          On the economy, she won by a larger margin than obama did over Mccain in 08, She Was i. Command on global issues. Folks gave her huge margins on cares about me, judgement, qualified. Racism overrided all that shit and my party STILL doesn't want to accept that.

          The DT clown show does not HAVE TO control everyone always. The media, including MSM, are highly complicit & need 2 stop it. This is illustrated well in media rxns to WHCD What Reactions to Michelle Wolf’s Comedy Routine at the WHCD Tell Us about Our Mediahttps://medium.com/@upine/why-there-are-such-big-reactions-to-michelle-wolfs-comedy-routine-at-the-white-house-da4392fc89fa …
