Democratic senators urge voters to focus Kavanaugh anger on election

Coons said the Senate needed to show leadership and seek to heal the country.

Coons is looking like he could be a reasonable candidate. Assuming of course the Democratic Party hierarchy doesn't try to interfere with the Party's democratic procedures.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Saturday that"nothing unifies Republicans like a court fight."

Mitch talking about stacking the judicial system to favor the most powerful and speaking for the .01% he's part of and represents.

The first thing that the Democrat leadership has to do is convince Democrat voters that their party of choice is not completely incompetent, and that the parties election strategy of creating multiple pockets of haters isn't as hopeless as it looks.

Here's what the Democratic Party must do before 2020:

First, it must move past the Baby Boom generation. Voters thought it had in 2008, but the Baby Boom had one last gasp with the nomination of Hillary in 2016. Despite the self centered myopic image of the Baby Boomers (on both sides, both sides) that the whole world and country revolves around them, the fact for Democrats is that Democratic voters don't care about the heroes of the 1990s. They're younger, hipper, more attuned to the needs of the 21st century.

With that, the Democrats need to find the next generation of leaders. People like Pelosi, Feinstein, Clinton, Schumer, and others have too much baggage. They don't excite voters, their ideas are generationally behind the times, and pretty much tell younger Democrats that the party doesn't care about them. The Democrats have to find new leaders who, if aren't actually younger, at least speak to and are willing to speak for, the younger generations. They don't care if you marched with Martin Luther King, they care if you can understand the debt burden of students coming out of college in 2018. They don't care if you protested Vietnam, they care if you fought the 2008 Financial Meltdown.

The Democrats want to retake the White House in 2020? Don't just bank on voter anger about Donald Trump, that'll only last for so long (I figure another 6-12 months unless he really does something even more massively offensive than he has up to now). Don't just rewarm the same ideas you presented voters in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, etc.

Be leaders. Be inspired leaders that the country desires, not the callow, jaded bitterness of Trumpistan. Listen, adjust your message, and reach out to the young, the middle class, and the workers. Do that, and the Democrats will win.

Do it not, and 2020 comes back into play for Trump, as much as I hate to say it. For I think another 4 years of Trump would hamstring America for at least a generation, if not forever.

The first thing that the Democrat leadership has to do is convince Democrat voters that their party of choice is not completely incompetent, and that the parties election strategy of creating multiple pockets of haters isn't as hopeless as it looks.

It's always fascinating to hear conservstibes disparage democrats as being haters. Conservatives constantly make emotion-based descisions, fear and hate being the greatest drivers. This is evidenced by Trump's wall talk, the fearmongering about undocumented immigrants, constantly trying to claim that women and minorities don't have it bad, and Trump's election; to name a few.

David V: Astute analysis.

That goes for both sides, the right have been highly energized, motivated and focused since the outlandish accusations on Kavanaugh were made, not only did the antics of the Democrats angered the conservatives base, but moved all sides of the base together. We have now a 2-5 point lead in the midterm polls that's not good for the Democrats who earlier this year enjoyed a once 14-19 point lead, so the silver lining in all of this is to a degree, the Democrats should be thanked for bringing the conservative base together and to motivate them. Just like Kavanaugh sitting on the bench will anger many liberals, trying to keep him off will anger many conservatives.

Donald Trump said the public protests against Kavanaugh were the work of "an angry left-wing mob"

Says Trump at an angry right-wing mob rally in Kansas.

Well, it's official, Kavanaugh is finally sworn in. Today is a great day!!!!!

You have to vote your own conscience. I will do the same. But please just vote. We can take conservatives, liberals, socialists and Nazis. America is great, and has always been great.

What we can't take is apathy. Not now.

since the outlandish accusations on Kavanaugh were made,

Sexual assault allegations are not outlandish.

not only did the antics of the Democrats angered the conservatives base, but moved all sides of the base together. We have now a 2-5 point lead in the midterm polls that's not good for the Democrats who earlier this year enjoyed a once 14-19 point lead, 

Polls are inaccurate and can't be trusted, unless they support my position!

Just ask yourself this question:

Who looked more demented during the Ford-Kavanaugh hearings?

Clearly, it was Kavanaugh.

It was already extremely doubtful that Kavanaugh should be confirmed after Ford's testimony, but then there was the Kavanaugh meltdown on live TV during the hearing, along with his previous lies, this meltdown confirmed that he was unfit to be confirmed.

Oh, the irony... the voters are angry about the Democrats' despicable tactics in their desperate efforts to keep a good qualified man off the Supreme Court.

"despite allegations of sexual misconduct"

Yeah, totally unsubstantiated allegations from 36 years ago.

"America is great, and has always been great."

Yeah, but it definitely won't be great if the leftists get control.

"Just ask yourself this question:

"Who looked more demented during the Ford-Kavanaugh hearings?"

I wouldn't say anyone looked demented, though it was obvious that Christine Blasey Ford was telling falsehoods, and she definitely looked more like Garth from Wayne's World than anyone else.

Democratic senators urge voters to focus Kavanaugh anger on election

Of course they do. What else can Dem voters focus on?

The debt? Naaa

ANTIFA demestic terrorists? Nope

Wall street? Naaa

Legal bribery? Also known as corporate lobbying. Naaa

The war in Afghanistan? Oh hell no.

Thanks to the many independent voters, we won’t have to worry about the Dem horde so much.

Time to cry.

Of course they do. What else can Dem voters focus on?

Restoring the US' reputation on the international stage.

Preventing self-inflicted wounds from doing too much more damage.

Slowing Trump's degradation of the country.

Campaigning solely on anger will not garner votes from independents like myself. A better democrat party strategy would be to explain how they can match or exceed President Trump's economic policies that have goosed the economy and brought unemployment for all races, both sexes, and all education levels to near record lows.

Democrats showed their true colors during the confirmation process. They are willing to stoop to any low to attain power. They have become the mob.

Restoring the US' reputation on the international stage.

We don’t need to join or be part of the socialist globalist society.

Preventing self-inflicted wounds from doing too much more damage.

Democrats need to calm down and respect the rule of law, stop slandering and come up with real policies that they can take to the people campaign on and try to win fair and square without cheating the system or trying to impeach everyone.

Slowing Trump's degradation of the country

Not the country, the blue states.
