Donald Trump is Fighting with One of His Top Allies (No, Not That One) - Senator Adam Schiff

Too many words Adam...

Democratic messaging strategies continues to assume that the comms is being consumed by smart people. How often do we see statements and explanations that span minutes and minutes...

Keep it sharp and to the point - and if it takes all those minutes to get to the point, then it's obvious that your real audience is not the one you are trying to change.

FOX thrives on the soundbite - and their MAGA owners keep creating them.

Democratic messaging is usually a soliloquy or stump speech. This can't work when the average American voter has a 15sec attention span.

Anyway, that's me just venting.

@Rhiannon, I continue to thrive on your posts! Love and peace to you!

And fine with me, that's why we're all here - to learn and share opinions. And these days, that's a real gift!

We can understand nuance instead of just soundbites. Soundbites can be good at times, but I prefer to know how the sausage is made.

I really admire those in Congress who go out of their way to inform the rest of us - Senators Adam Schiff and Sheldon Whitehouse are especially good at doing that.
