We complain we don’t know what Democrats stand for, but when someone tries to articulate it, the media lets Trump smother it with name calling.

Voters have a right to hear about a candidate’s substantive ideas unencumbered by Trump’s nonsense. Especially on their announcement day. Especially when she didn’t even mention his name in her video.

Hindsight is 20/20, but your 2016 failure shows the way to defeat Trump is not by focusing on his offensive behavior. Nor is the winning strategy to try to ignore him. Rather, you must strike his Center of Gravity. Hint: it’s what Mueller is doing.https://link.medium.com/KjaOJYrU9S

Unfortunately, our campaigns didn’t have subpoena power—imagine if we had!
-
Sure, and that’s fair. But you made strategic choices about message, and that message was primarily geared toward highlighting Trump’s offensiveness, instead of relentlessly focusing on his fake success in business. Why were the Fusion GPS discoveries never really used publicly?
-
You’re hitting on the key point: people have the impression that we never talked about these things, but we did. It didn’t work and that’s on us, but there are structural forces that make what you say harder than it appears. Google “hillary clinton Atlantic City speech”.

Surely Hillary & the campaign sought many times to undercut Trump’s contrived business genius propaganda. But it wasn’t the singular strategic focus, and that was a mistake. Eg: this “Role Models” ad, which was powerful but didn’t attack Trump’s strength.https://youtu.be/mrX3Ql31URA

Exactly: earned and paid media work together. You remember what you see and hear in both. We also ran this add on Trump outsourcing jobs for the entire summer. People didn’t remember it because it didnt’ have traction in media.https://youtu.be/6dtk1eX7UBE

The trick this time is for Dems to hold media accountable too. No replay of 2016 again. Push back push back push back.

Trump is a golden ticket for the media. The reason he's in the WH is because Americans are addicted to drama, 10 second soundbites & reality TV. It is on US to call out the media's failings, but to also support the eventual Dem candidate 100%, regardless if they are our #1 choice

Well that’s sounds familiar. Hillary had a book full of policies and what/who she stood for. Did we hear them? No. But we heard all about her emails, etc. so yes, media can take a 2016 bow. Not sure media has learned their lesson. Hoping!!


-
I listened to her. But many didn’t.
-
Well all those now unemployed farmers, Harley Davidson, GM & Carrier people SURE owned us libs!! And they got to destroy Keurig coffee makers, Starbucks, Nike and something, something!
-
She won the debates hands down.

Absolutely she did, but mainstream media was too soft on him then. It was frustrating.

2016 all over again. Media needs to embark on a 12-step program for their Trump addiction and approach 2020 with a clean slate -- or they'll screw it up again.
-
They are already screwing it up again.
-
People are onto their game now. Who actually watches MSM anymore anyway. I saw her video, it was good, and didn't hear about the insult cuz I don't care.
-
About who watches MSM anymore... unfortunately way too many people STILL watch and buy in and ignore facts. One of my greatest fears: the peckerhead getting re-elected.
