In reply to the discussion: A top aide for Senator Reid said this on MSNBC and it left me stunned. [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,190 posts)They have to do it at the right time. Just after a jarring hit to the R's or Trump. They have to know how to use the MSM, who love dramatic dominos to follow....like a reality show. I always wondered why, when Democrats are ripe with Hollywood supporters experience, they are woeful at knowing how to use media, use timing, marketing, to get your message across in the most powerful way. Sometimes the truth is not enough. Its also about how you present the truth.
They missed a perfect window there. Instead of dampening Mueller's comments, by the insinuations that it STILL wasn't enough to start impeachment, they should have...even if they had to pretend to be upset......go on air raving mad..say you have no choice now and are compelled to move forward for the American people. That way you give the MSM an out, hand them a tangent on a platter to delve into, and it would be centered around Mueller. But that chance is now over. If they suddenly came to the mic, say, tomorrow or in a few months, seemingly out of thin air, and informed the press that they are starting impeachment...the 'story' will not be centered around Mueller's revelation, but "Did the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot?...we'll have on a (Republican) expert next to discuss this!"
