I actually threw my arms in the air and yelled, "THANK YOU!!!" at the TV Tuesday. Then I rewound and listened to it again, just because the words were so sweet to hear. So unusual, so validating, so true. They came out of Nicolle Wallace's mouth on Deadline White House, while she and her panel discussed Joe Biden campaigning for the Dems.
WALLACE: The Democratic message, and I think it was a real mistaken national media frame that there wasn't one, there HAS been one all along. It's been focused on the issues.
I could barely believe my ears. I've been saying this for years - begging people to stop bashing the Dems for having no message. Their message all along has been the issues. Health care. Voting rights. Health care. Immigration. Reproductive rights for women. Health care. Putting a stop to corporate welfare. The economy. Education. Health care. You name it. They are campaigning on ISSUES that matter to people.
Wallace later praised the Dems for the intensity of their work. She said, "...the Democrats seem to have taken the last two years to do more than I think some people gave them credit for doing. They seem to have addressed the asymmetry in president trump's political tactics...some of these candidates have really figured out how to run against trump and trumpism."
