btw, Schumer held presser on Trump yesterday and completely unloaded on him -- cable networks barely

btw, Schumer held presser on Trump yesterday and completely unloaded on him -- cable networks barely covered.

Pelosi and House Dem leaders did same today -- almost no coverage.

i know people get frustrated by Dem "messaging," but part of the problem is the message doesn't get broadcast

my hunch is that if POTUS Hillary found herself facing cataclysmic political scandal in 2018, every news net would’ve carried a Paul Ryan presser attacking her—live and in full

Jump up and down screaming?
Dress as a Clown?
Physical assault McConnell?

Any of those might get more air play. None of them would help. We are in the minority in both houses. We have little power. People with little power don’t get much coverage.

Yet you and some others keep attacking our leaders like there is any thing they can do about. Yet never have suggestions.

Instead of droning on about how bad of a boy Trump is. Have some passion and heart. Look at the camera and speak.

He is the minority leader. Being a rousing orator is not on the Resume. Nice to have but does not relate to the skills he needs to function.
