Analysis | House Democrats struggle to break through when it’s all Trump, all the time

By Paul Kane Paul Kane Senior congressional correspondent and columnist Email Bio Follow March 2 at 6:00 AM Rep. John Yarmuth issued a warning to the new House committee chairmen: Beware of the Trump news cycle.

Moreover, the insurgent liberal wing of the caucus unveiled its sweeping health-care proposal, billed as Medicare-for-all, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered several major policy addresses around Washington.Instead, the news was dominated almost entirely by the testimony of Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and the president’s trip to Vietnam for a failed summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.“There’s no question it’s going to be a real challenge.

Instead of a valedictory walk-off, the week ended with Pelosi in a Capitol basement room calling for unity. The caucus’s newest star, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , threatened to encourage liberal activists to confront those who wavered from the party line. Those issues — such as guaranteeing coverage for people with preexisting medical conditions and reducing the cost of prescription drugs — have languished as clashes with Trump have taken center stage.

Some pointed fingers at the swing-district Democrats who defected on the GOP motion, others defended them for toeing the middle just like their districts. Some blamed leadership for not being more organized. And some just wondered if mistakes are inevitable when you cobble together the most ideologically, ethnically, geographically diverse Democratic caucus ever.

'We write about Trump all the time because he gives us clicks and then we blame House Democrats for our journalistic failures'.

Could we have just a one day Trump news blackout so we can cover other important issues?

People notice. Media doesn't.

The democrats have one agenda - fight Trump on everything. Makes no difference what is best for America - they just want to fight Trump. The democratic party is this nations biggest threat.

Then, stop fighting with the President, Democrats.

new Q

Hey, of you can’t beat’em join’em. Everyone should just make a big 🍑 party in DC make friends and get along. Negotiate, give and take a little. Make deals happen quickly BUT everyone is just so mad and angry. Ya can’t cut deals with hate. All These guys just need to get along.

And then you brilliant journalists talk non-stop about the Dem message not getting thru to enough of the voters & blaming the message and/or the messenger. I don't see MSM having learned the lessons of 2016.

They are aware that their show-trial Cirque du Solipsism with Mr. Cohen sucked most of the air out of the room, right?

Until that MOB BOSS is gone that is all they should talk and do something about like yestersay

All good. Libs are the enemy of Americans.

The liberal media probably got Trump elected since they put him on the news 24 hours a day during the whole election process

Every whine..more votes for trump.

That’s not remotely happening. We’re not falling for tricks this time.

Ha. you guys make a conscious decision to do this.

Attacking the 2A and medicare for all got all the attention it deserves...

Did the press choose to cover those topics? That's usually how things get noticed.

Same with the media! Complete joke
