Democrats need to simplify their campaign messages... [View all]

It is good if they can come up with a 12-step program to fix our economy and cure our ills, but the majority tune out on such campaigning.

In my opinion, Democrats should point out that Trump chose to get into a war with Iran and tell nobody about it. Americans have died. We have spent money we supposedly was trying to save.

The price of everything has gone up, especially gasoline. He lied to the American people. He said he was going to bring prices down.

He tore down the East Wing of the White House and told everyone that he was going to build a $200 million dollar ballroom and his wealthy friends were going to pay for it. Just what we need! A friggin' ballroom!

Then Lindsay Graham said it was going to cost $400 million of taxpayer monies. The price doubled. Now the Republicans want to slip in a billion dollars for the ballroom under the pretense of "protecting the President".

The people understand these basic messages. Democrats should continue to remind them.
