This is sorely missing from Democratic Party campaign preparation. Democrats rely on volunteers to make up for a lack of corporate funding and PR, but the Democratic Party neglects the education of the volunteers on the issues.

We have to be prepared to answer Fox News and all the Republican talking points. That's the only way we can win over the independent and Republican voters.
