2020 Democrats Shift Focus from Health Care to Mueller


November 29, 2018 at 8:55 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Joshua Green: “Democrats built a midterm electoral wave by centering their message around health care. But since the Nov. 6 election, many Democratic ads have shifted focus from protecting health insurance to protecting special counsel Robert Mueller.”

“In the past several weeks, prominent Democrats have run thousands of Facebook ads urging viewers to sign petitions in support of Mueller, who may be vulnerable to political interference by the Trump administration after the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They include Senators Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Corey Booker of New Jersey and billionaire activist Tom Steyer, along with a super PAC tied to former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.”

right now is obviously because there is a very real possibility that trump may try to close Mueller's investigation

Things don't change that fast, and it was just a few days ago Democrats were emphasizing Climate Change, Healthcare, etc. That has NOT changed.


This is pure hyperbole to try and stir things up

Gee, yesterday the Democrats were focusing on the racist judge that trump was trying to push through.


Does that mean they have disgarded all the other issues?

Writing for one of these sites. It just seems too easy. Focus on the LCD and play with their fragile little emotions.
