And they got their usual panel of republican assholes and democrats who couldnt fight their way out of a paper bag.
Its about who is better for the economy and the repugs are going on how tax cuts always help the economy and they went on and on how bush tax cuts grew the economy and how great it was. And how Obama blew it with his responses to the great recession and that there was never a worse recovery.
Not one democratic panelist could find the obvious words of rebuttal. Like..... umm...bushs policies brought us to the brink of economic catastrophe. Or that not one policy has changed since the rumpass took office and it is all Obama policy that has made the economy strong. Damn. Can we get some better people out there to represent us on these shows.
Weak. I am talking to you Paul Begala and Christine Quinn.
This is how we lost. People who cant think of the obvious truth to set the record straight. And of course Anderson Cooper just keeps going while the liars from the right spout their shit.
Makes me so gadddam mad!!

(51,642 posts)they still can't say the words "liar" and "lie". It is always "falsehoods" or "untruths". What a load of shit. Call it what it is damn it!

Are you offering to run?
We can definitely use more who can rip the GOP lies apart, like this fine representative did regarding the current GOP tax bill:

(6,254 posts)My original comment was geared more towards democratic reps and leaders publicly defending the party on msm. It just seems that the republicans dominate and stear the conversation. Its nit all Dems fault, look at how spineless Chuck Todd cut Pelosi off at the knees recently on MTP. We need more spokes people like Howard Dean. Dems need to communicate their message in plain and simple language. I loved Obama, but most of the time he spoke over the head of most citizens. Dumb ass Trump as vile and distateful as he is, knows how to communicate his hideous, racist, fascist message so his supporters understand. We just need more passion and a simple and clear message that conveys our ideas.

the failing(us) "MSM".

(50,318 posts)Every single time they're in office they trash the economy and Dems are elected to clean it up. Trump is riding the Obama wave. Imagine how good it might be if O was still in office.
