It is the quantity, the reach of the messaging.

I agree with some plain talk, Bernie is good at that. Rachel often annoyingly repeats herself but she does it on purpose, while Chris Hayes while brilliant requires education to catch everything he's saying. But I think Dems get a bad rap--there is a lot of good communication just old fashioned methods: Kamala and Tim did a great job but they busted their humps while Trump played golf and let social media do his work for him (with Russian help). RW Spanish speaking radio stations were very effective, and not countered on the left.

it will get worse with Trump going after media and lifting limits on what Russia can do, and fact-checking on Facebook, etc. We're going to have to think out of the box. I hope some smart people are working on this
