Opinion: Democrats: Get out of Washington and into the real world
 
Martha Mitchell was once one of the most famous women in America. A conservative socialite from Pine Bluff, Ark., and wife of President Nixon’s attorney general, she was known for her sharp wit and even sharper tongue. Time put her on its cover, calling her a “figure of ridicule to liberals and a public embarrassment to many a traditionalist Republican.” She was the “Mouth of the South,” the second-most in-demand GOP speaker after Nixon himself.
 
But when she spoke the truth about Watergate, Nixon’s allies tried to destroy her. They labeled her crazy, mocked her in the press, and even drugged and held her against her will. Her name now defines the Martha Mitchell effect, which occurs when someone tells the truth but is dismissed as delusional because it sounds too outrageous to believe.

Democrats are quickly falling victim to the Martha Mitchell effect.

For years, we’ve been sounding the alarm on Donald Trump — his corruption, his attacks on democracy, his reckless rhetoric. Much of the country tunes us out. Why? Because when everything is an outrage, nothing is.

What this guy says is obviously true.  Democrats know it, Republicans know it, the MSM knows, the electorate is starting to know it.  Why would democrat politicians get out on the street where they might have to answer really embarrassing questions honestly or lie.  Either way they lose.  No, its safer for them to sit in the capitol and make accusations, lie, and steal knowing the MSM will protect them.
