Outside the Beltway there are worries the Democratic party is losing control of its message and forgetting the lessons of 2018

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Washington Democrats keep talking about the "Squad" and impeachment.

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak — the governor of an early primary state and a potential battleground in the general election — said that going into 2020, his constituents “want to look forward, and how are we going to make their lives better.” a second round of presidential primary debates next week is likely to add to their frustration. The party’s sprawling field of presidential candidates are outbidding each other with increasingly liberal positions on impeachment, criminal justice and immigration that are being demanded by the party’s base.

Looking at Washington, a top adviser to one Democratic governor said, “The feeling here is that everybody just needs to get on the same fucking page.” Trump’s public approval rating remains relatively low, and most Democratic governors remain confident that once the primary consolidates around a handful of candidates, it will present a more unified vision.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said that in confronting Trump, whom he called a “master messenger,” Democrats “have to have that capacity, as we do in Minnesota, to multi-task, to not normalize that behavior.” Trump is pushing to revive the federal death penalty the same week former Vice President Joe Biden reversed his decades-old position and came out against capital punishment. The entire field, minus Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, opposes the death penalty, which some Democrats fear the president could exploit in the general election. He is also ramping up his rhetoric on immigration.

Between private dinners, shows and a rodeo in Salt Lake, the Democratic governors’ concerns about the party’s discipline ahead of 2020 echoed among moderates and progressives alike. In part, this is because Democrats have seen the damage that Republicans can still wreak on their agenda — either federally or by Republican legislative minorities in states that Democrats carried last year.

Dems were elected to the House majority to impeach Trump and prevent him from taking away Obamacare. Dems yet to to show they can deliver on their promises. Trump and McConnell have support from foreign governments and racists and xenophobes on their side. What can Dems do?

Democrat message is pretty clear. We hate Trump and we are Socialist.

More deza from the ever-reliable politico. It’s great to be able to count on something, in this case politico fostering destruction of the republic. What I wouldn’t give for a functional fourth estate not staffed by incompetents and opportunists!

TheDemocrats How hard is it for Dems to analyse what is going on in middle America & craft policies & a message to go with it?

Yeah gonna win in a landslide keep using everything is face while supporting real racist so obvious!

When will thise worries also reach inside the Beltway?

Eyeroll. Now do the GOP

Democrat governors worry the Party's increasingly weak stance on immigration, impeachment push, and focus on TrumpTweets will cost them in 2020Elections.

OH BULLSHIT!!! DEMS WIPED OUT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE MIDTERMS!!! WIPED.....THEM.....OUT!!! STOP WITH THE CLICK BAIT!!!

Personally I think Democrats should focus on transgender issues.

There's a message?

Wife cheating governor Gavin Newsom Nancy Pelosi's nephew can't take his message with a grain of salt.

Do you guys ever have any original ideas for stories? Maybe some real reporting? Your “democrats are falling apart” articles are old and tired. Maybe look to the GOP for a real f*ed up mess!

Please. There are 400 days and more than 400 ways that trump can fuck up before Election Day. He ain’t a genius, he’s only been lucky thus far.

Um, given that the electorate has an attention span of about 12 hours, I wouldn’t worry quite yet about the Dems messaging.

Hiw about doing something beaides just talking.

TAXES AND MORE TAXES FROM THE DEMOCRATS

You are either drunk or high! But whatever.

At this point, thanks to congressional Democrats, and the clown car slate of “presidential aspirants”, the 2020 election is Trump’s to lose...

Love how you show a photo of one of the worst former mayors of my state.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA SHITHOLE.

Oh please. Walk. Chew gum. Easy. Impeachment is about law, order, justice, the US Constitution, liberal democracy, patriotism. Americans in 2018 demanded a check on TrumpGOP. Donald is attacking ACA and pre-existing condition protections. Affects all Americans. Fight that.

We were promised oversight, accountability and impeachment... I don’t know what THIS is

Yeah the Muller report it's over now there a laughing stock and rightly so!Trump 2020! Landslide!

Women

TRUMPS GOING 2 JAIL! HE CANT BE POTUS! HE'S LUCKY IF HE FINISHES HIS 1ST TERM!

Washington Democrats keep talking about the 'Squat' and impeachment but it's all hot air

You would think they would actually do their job instead of going down a dead end road pissing off Americans and also quit playing the race card when racism only exists when they spew it!

Please there are more than 40 New Democrats members of Congress, and everyone is focusing on the Squad. The 2018 Democrats in Congress is unique

They won by telling us they were going to hold trump accountable. They can’t pass bills cause mcconnell blocks everything. They might as well impeach. What I voted for.

Their own fault, as they enabled the hate filled squad to dictate the message...

Asking the wrong questions. What has changed since the Dems took the house? Yes, 'The Squad', came into office. So.... it might be who's on your team. Thank God they're not on our side. flaggedforstupid

OK, now cover Newsom’s “Golden State” and tell us again about how Dimms are going to fix everything.

Beto won 400k voters who weren't just Republicans but voted for Greg Abbott.. he will win the general w/ ease

president of the United States shows again what a racist he is..but hey..here is politico to the rescue with its one millionth Dems in disarray thumb sucker...

GavinNewsom has enough problems to worry about in California. The state is a mess. People of means are leaving and being replaced by a permanent underclass so that people like Gavin can use to stay in power. It sucks

when your guy is hopelessly corrupt what is left

Washington Democrats keep talking about the “Squad,” or you do?! badatyourjob

so says the corruption...hopelessness

the GlobalistHOARD's 1 BIG PARTY ... they've divided the voters between themselves & all their campaign promises (aka LIES) are PURE BS to raise political contributions ... they play to different groups FEARS to RAISE MONEY to compete for POWER but in the end they're on 1 team

Go hide somewhere

Politico concern trolling.

This thing will be won or lost in the suburbs, as usual.

Hi, I live outside the Beltway by a thousand-odd miles or so. I am not worried about this.

Oh politico. Here we go again. Might be time to unfollow this crap.

Lol. Let’s continue the circus show with Mueller

I would worry about cleaning the shit off your streets then reaching out to help those poor people who are forced to live on the street try caring about Americans

Don’t fall for this. Off year elections are consistently similar to the results of 2018. 2020 will be about Trump and our core values. Better buckle up and become warriors.

Dems thinks they know better than BarackObama when he mentioned the 'circular firing squad'. They do not get it.

He is right & you need aggressive action with president.

The kind of beating Trump received for decades would send any politicians whimpering while running scared.

Of they’re pushing for Trump’s reelection, they’re paid to lose!

Nope, Democratic party is doing just fine, thanks.

Is Politico becoming another Fox Seems you are really sour on Dems.

Trump uses twitter to keep the focus on him. The media reports ad nauseam everything he tweets. Trump Trump Trump..That's all we hear. Serious Trump fatigue. Bad press is better that no press for him. Drowns out all air space for anything else. Media plays his game for him.

Democrats can walk and chew gum. Most Democratic lawmakers are not even involved in investigations of the president. In any case, it’s the responsibility of House Democrats to hold the president accountable for his gross misconduct.

Since '18 the party has been picked up and moved completely outside of the American mainstream. Trump is doing an insanely good job of making sure it stays there.

With 25 candidates there should be a wolf pack tearing this president UP! soft mouthed democrats who cant start the slam down and follow through to impeachment. Dems fear being offensive. Get ready for 4 more of trump if all candidates do not find their voice and protect the usa

they won the House in a landslide to be cowards and wishy washy about impeachment that makes it clear to all voters that trump is not the criminal that he is. geez if only he lied about a consenting blowjob then they would impeach him

While Dems are accomplishing nothing including trying to pass 'not well thought out' bills: Ivanka Trump. Today, is the 1-year anniversary of our PledgetoAmericasWorkers!!! We have reached 12 MILLION (!!!!) commitments to train and skill American workers from +300 companies.

Cool
