I watched a clip of Joy Reid's discussion with Ali Velshi.

Reid said that (if Democrats had any coherent messaging strategy), they would release ads in every swing state briefly explaining the Senate bipartisan border bill, and naming every Republican congressman who has blocked it.

Release an ad every time a border incident occurs, and put Stefanik and Johnson's face on the disaster.

Democrats refusal or inability to seize the narrative is beyond self-destructive.

The GOP was attacking it and Johnson promised not to vote on it before there was text of the final bill. Biden has listed the requests he made for border enforcement that were refused. This should be the star of that list - and the strategy you mention.

If I had billions of dollars, I would totally do this! It’s like they can’t fight fire with fire. It’s maddening.

I totally agree with you, hw. And we must encourage others to pay attention to what is happening in the Senate and the House. Encourage voter registration and voting. Four more years of MAGA……disaster for our country.

They can’t even pass their own bills when they bother to draft one.

Tom- Although I am a registered Democrat, I have voted Republican. Part of my decision is who the candidate is as a person; do I feel this person represents the city or county or state or country in a manner that shines a good light. I did not say all MAGA bills were bad. I will say that I do not feel Donald J Trump shines a good light - ever.

I agree. The democratic ad system is weak. I see south Dakota political ads decrying the border issue all the time. No ads countering it.
