2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am tired of hearing Republicans on the TV saying what the American people want to talk about ...
For several months now the Republican surrogates have been on the cable news shows saying: "The American people do not want to talk about XXXXX during this election - they want to talk about XXXXX."
They are really pissing me off!
The Republicans need to shut the hell up and let the American people decide what they want to talk about - and the Republicans need to stop their subliminal brainwashing bullshit !!!
I'm waiting for just one talking head to say: "How do you know what they want to talk about? And who voted you to be the spokesperson for the whole American population?"

(10 posts)1. Of course they want to steer it in that direction!
It's our job to make sure the right question is asked: Going forward, who will do the best job to get the economy going in a manner that does not continue the middle class regression?

The American people don't want Obamacare. Or Americans don't want their taxes to go up, so don't raise taxes. They think all of us are stupid as their constituents.

(10 posts)3. Maybe not, but they know Romney likes mandated care.
And the people know that the its-a-state-program-so-it's-okay line doesn't wash. I think we will hear a lot less about the health care plan.
