(146,317 posts)Democrats need to blame Republicans for something specific. No more general campaign slogans. Blame the freaking Republicans for what they've done to people.

(146,317 posts)I'm beginning to think that the Republicans will impeach the moron and install Pence. Trump is toxic for Republicans, and they're beginning to see that.

(146,317 posts)Like Rush Limbaugh, Trump is pissing off one group at a time. Eventually, he'll piss off everyone, just like Rush did.
When did we last hear from Limbaugh? I can't remember.

(146,317 posts)We tried that in 2016, and failed. It's time to take it directly to the people and to show them specifically how the Republicans are hurting them as individuals.
It's time to go all hard-core in the 2018 campaigns. Time to name names and blame Republicans for everything that is going wrong. Tie them to Trump, too, if he's still around then.

(2,056 posts)1) ONLY run candidates who are charismatic speakers...NO EXCEPTION because no matter your message if the bearer of the message can't draw people in the message goes unheard.
2) ALL 50 states, every county/district/elected office is in play...NO EXCEPTIONS! You can't win shit if you don't even show up.
3) PAY ATTENTION to what is important to the most people and prioritize accordingly. Transgender bathroom rights are important and should always be defended. That being said...it's an issue that only impacts a very tiny portion of the population. If you spend 25% of your time talking about one group's issues the majority of voters are not going to believe you are worried about them. Talk most about the issues that EVERYONE can unite behind.
4) Stop calling people you don't know racists or other derogatory names just because they don't vote the best interest of minorities. Rural people like to hunt. Hunting is a cultural identity issue for rural people just like church issues will matter for religious people. They are not going to vote for Democrats UNLESS there is mutual respect. You don't have to agree on everything but you need a goddamned dialogue.
5) Flush all the political purity shit down the toilet and unite behind ONE candidate. When there is not unity people like Trump wins. We can NOT afford more of that.
That is how you win.
