In reply to the discussion: Update 3: Heads-Up Dems !!! - This Is Why David Brat Beat Eric Cantor... [View all]laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)as I mentioned upthread, I've been saying if Dems don't take this anti-wall street sentiment and run with it, republicans will...and they will win. This is BAD for the Democrats and here's why: The republicans are going to coopt the populist theme and THEY are going to become the party against the 1%....you watch. And people will EAT IT UP. For some reason, people generally don't look at what was done, only what is being said now. As long as the republicans talk a good game, have some good marketing and talking points, people will vote for them on this issue. And Democrats will be left explaining why they AREN'T for the 99% (even though their policies ARE). You know how republicans are - up is down, war is peace...don't think they won't flip this issue as well.
