Dem Senators gather to learn how to talk to 'real people'

Dem Senators gather to learn how to talk to 'real people'
By Rick Moran

In 2018, Democrats in the Senate will be forced to defend 23 seats - 9 of which are in states won by Donald Trump. Republicans, on the other hand, need only to defend 8 seats.

That daunting math colored a gathering of Democrats in West Virginia who attended sessions on how to avoid electoral catastrophe in 2018. Among the panel discussions:

    Former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D), along with Sens. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), held a session on “speaking to those who feel invisible in rural America," according to the schedule. Other sessions were along similar lines: “Listening to those feel unheard” and “Rising America — They feel unheard too.”

What a horrible, horrible about comment about democrat politicians.  They have to LEARN HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE - other than wealthy donors.  There are many republicans who also fit this mold.

Sometimes, things get lost in the translation.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, if they are pandering for votes in the usual places, they've been talking mostly to Democrats.

Who are they learning to talk to real people from?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wonder how they are going to craft two very different messages.  I'm positive that their base doesn't want to hear the same thing that Trump voters want to hear.
