Frustrations mount inside DNC over midterm strategy

[Counselor706]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), White House and aligned interest groups are growing discontent about how to create a national network to support President Biden’s agenda and enhance his image, leaving some in the party puzzled about the big-picture plan for 2022.

That’s according to multiple sources with knowledge of the party committee, who are befuddled and upset that the strategic vision seems to be slipping away amid reports of personality disputes, administration overreach, communication mishaps and wasted resources.

"While the White House still hasn’t figured out how to build their outside infrastructure, they’re quickly trying to shift blame for the position to people outside the White House,” said one plugged-in DNC source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to frankly discuss internal committee operations.

The Hill recently reported that some Democrats close to the party committee haven’t been able to agree on one uniform approach to messaging around the more disappointing points in Biden’s administration, including the fact that his two biggest legislative priorities were effectively nixed by Congress.

The Hill recently reported that some Democrats close to the party committee haven’t been able to agree on one uniform approach to messaging around the more disappointing points in Biden’s administration, including the fact that his two biggest legislative priorities were effectively nixed by Congress.

They should focus the messaging on that. This election, after all, is about who controls Congress.

Gonna be a Democrat blood bath in 276 days.

It ain't gonna be no red tsunami. Not something to compare with, e.g., 1994.

Even if it is as bad as 1994 or 2010, remember the Democratic presidents who were in office at the time easily won re-election two years later in both cases - in no small part because the Republicans on the Hill got drunk with power and alienated a lot of voters.

Well, like many other Dems, I'm hoping Biden will not even seek re-election, solely because of his age. He's good enough for the job now, but if re-elected, he would be 86 by the end of his second term.

I'm hoping Pelosi retires soon for the same reason -- she's 82.

People retain their vigor and mental clarity much longer nowadays than they used to, but there are still limits. Reagan was almost certainly senile with Alzheimers by the time he left office, and probably two years before.

Time for the voters to do their part by voting in a working Democratic majority in both houses of Congress.

In 1996 Perot split the Republican vote and in 2012 Romney was too much of a square against a very charismatic speaker.

The 14th Amendment should keep several sitting House Republicans off the ballots.

The 14th Amendment should keep several sitting House Republicans off the ballots.

But it won't. Democrats have a weakness in going for the jugular. Think they should do more "What would McConnell do?" consideration.

The problem Dems have is figuring out who replaces Dementia Joe. Or if Dementia Joe is even willing to step aside. Gonna be fun to watch.
