A few weeks ago, some democrats attended a seminar on how to talk to regular people. You see, they figure maybe those crushing loses in November may be somewhat related to how they present their ideas. They have to make a change, find a hook- like Hillary’s famous, “I ain’t no ways tired” schtick that worked so beautifully in winning the hearts of black people!
Democrats wonder if ordinary folk just don’t understand their clever nuance. They talk differently. They listen differently. So, some dems are flirting with the idea of finding a new way to communicate with all those dummies who don’t live (or aspire to live) in NY, CA, Washington DC, or don’t run to a safe space at the first whiff of differing opinion. You know, those prejudiced deplorables.
Not too many took advantage of this (good for a write off) wine and cheese seminar weekend. Apparently, it was a bit of a bust. They were supposed to learn how to triangulate those rubes from the middle of the country but the seminar leader apparently never mastered the Fly Over dialect.
If democrats really want to learn about communication styles and winning, they might consider studying Donald Trump’s approach to speaking. Let’s face it, no one will mistake Trump for a lyrical speaker but he resonates with many Americans- even some who used to vote democrat. Why? He talks to them. His nose is not in the air. In all his ineloquence, Donald Trump offers that old fashioned approach of offering ideas and beliefs- straight up, hold the nuance. Trump says things like, this is a great country. We are a great people. Government works for the People. More Americans believe that, than believe what democrats tell them. Things like: Americans who are concerned about terrorism are Islamophobes.
It sure doesn’t look like democrats are truly looking to change their message, or the way it’s presented. Nancy Pelosi is back as House spokes mouth. She continues to spout half-truths, innuendo and outright nonsense. Just the other day, she went on a rant about a tweet of Mike Flynn’s- only it wasn’t Mike Flynn’s tweet. (Who’s for another round of Fake News?)
Chuck Schumer has picked up where Harry Reid left off. Just blurt something out! People might think it’s true! Mitt Romney didn’t pay his taxes, announced Reid. Donald Trump is embarrassed about his cabinet nominees, says Chuck. That’s why he wants to hurry up and have them approved.
What democrats need to learn is that more and more Americans are on to them. They understand that dishonesty is the democrat dialect, so they don’t believe them anymore.
Maybe it doesn’t matter if democrats don’t articulate to all Americans. There are other paths to communication skullduggery and government bureaucrats who remain true to the party line are on it. EPA drones had a good cry and now are protesting Scott Pruitt as head of the department. Is Pruitt incompetent? Nah. He just isn’t a leftist. These workers are entitled to their opinions but they don’t get to pick their boss. That’s not stopping them from emoting. Save the planet! Don’t let Donald Trump pick the head of the EPA!
Other government bureaucrats have surely had a hand in getting Mike Flynn kicked out of the Trump administration. We don’t really know what was said and not said in Flynn’s phone call with the Russian Ambassador. We do know that there was a leak about the phone call itself, and it had to have come from someone in a government department able to listen in on Flynn. So we have a sudden anonymous leak. The democrats and their media allies add a dash of innuendo and Flynn looked bad. We are told Flynn didn’t tell Pence all the details about a conversation. Now Flynn is out. Will we hear about who is doing this illegal leaking? Doesn’t seem so, the media has moved on to complaining about how much money is being spent to protect Trump and his family.
And they wonder why Trump considers them purveyors of Fake News.
There is surely more democrat talk on the way. Former president Barack Obama promised he was not leaving, that he intends to return to his roots. That would be Community Organizing, where all that is accomplished, is talk.
We’ll hear.
