    The problem the Democrats have right now is not that they're on the wrong side of things and how this country should be managed, but they're failing to communicate what Americans want and need to hear. Despite everything written here consumer confidence is UP. How is that even possible?

    Get the message out there.
    I’ve been thinking about this for years. This article sums it up nicely. We elevate a standard and someone makes it impossible to afford.

    Want to go to a great school like MIT? It used to cost $50k when I applied. That seemed reasonable given the doors it opened. Now? We have expensive condos that cost $1,600 a month going up at Minnesota instead of affordable public student housing. I just about give myself a stroke every time I drive down there I get so upset. The university did this. They let these things go up because they don’t care. it’s all a ****ing scam now. It costs the average kid probably $30-$40k a year to go to Minnesota now. That’s unreasonable. It’s just not reasonable. The regents forgot who they’re there for: the students.

    Childcare, a coworker told me the costs and I just about fell out of my chair. For a non-home-based provider it can run thousands a month for each kid. How can anyone afford kids? How does the working class fire out five kids and have money to do literally anything?

    It’s all so insane.

      Well, today's reports/video should just about finish off Joe. Good riddance. He really blew this.

          So far it only seems like right-wingers are jumping on this, but this is like the third or fourth time he's just straight up insulted someone on the campaign trail.

            It's not an insult, it's a joke from a John Wayne movie. But obviously you can't do that sh-t.

              Joe doesn't seem quite ready for prime time. You wonder whether he thought this was just gonna be handed to him. Like Hillary in '16.
              What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                Ah. Then that explains why the tone of the room was light hearted.

                Still, a weird way to try to segue into the downfalls of the caucus system.

                  More like Hillary in 08. Or Jeb! in 16. or Teddy in 80.

                    Yeah, you can't do stuff that just cries out to be willfully misinterpreted. And doing a cold reference to an actor who was making films in the 30s isn't exactly down with the kids.

                      Joe should have run in '16. Or '08 if he wanted to be president.

                      Anyone buying into the idea (getting a lot of press lately) that Hillary is quietly waiting for the other Dems to crater so she can step into the role of nominee? She and Bill are described as "nuclear cockroaches" - they survive anything.

                        No. That's just a right wing talking point to gin up rage against dragons that just aren't there.

                          Exactly. And this thread is somewhat a microcosm of my complaint. Instead of talking abut the issues and messages needed to defeat Trump we're falling into the hands of the media and our opponents who want to only focus on the follies.

                              Also no. And yes, please stop listening to right wing radio. It's not healthy.

                                No. And it's not "getting a lot of press lately," stop believing everything right wing nutjobs sell you.
