Consultant skewers Democrats for not taking the fight to the American public (VIDEO)

November 5, 2015 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

Democratic Consultant Steve Jarding skewers Democrats

How many different times must consultants tell politicians if they want the vote, they must give the voters a reason to vote. Democratic Consultant Steve Jarding put the 2015 election into context as he effectively said that Democrats simply were not up to the job of getting Americans to vote for them.

“Democrats have not taken the fight to the American public,” Steve Jarding said. “The American public is upset. They should be upset. Government’s failed them. And yet you didn’t see in Kentucky. You saw a Republican who could win by saying I am going to dismantle healthcare when 20% of the kids in Kentucky go to bed hungry. When a hundred thousand kids are going to lose their healthcare under this governor. I didn’t see a Democratic candidate fighting for that. They concede family values to the Republicans. I will challenge Republicans on family values. Poverty is not a family value. Hunger is not a family value. Lack of health insurance is not a family value. The Democrats have to go after these people. Kim Davis says, ‘Well I am doing what the Bible says.’ No you are not. You are doing what The Old Testament says. Jesus say. Jesus said in The New Testament forty times if you believe you are in. The problem I think Alex is that Democrats aren’t making the case. They are conceding the arguments to Republicans. Particularly in rural areas and in the South instead of taking the argument to them. When they are playing on that turf, on the Republican turf of letting the Republicans define the issues, that’s what happens. So, I don’t disagree with anything that E.J. says but I think the fundamental problem for the Democrats is much deeper. They have to stand up and start reminding the American public what their programs have meant. That when kids in Kentucky are hungry, we are going to feed them. When this governor, the governor elect wants to get rid of healthcare for a hundred thousand kinds, we are not going to let that happen. That is not a family value. And yet the Democrats aren’t saying it. And they wonder why they lose races.”

Democrats need to stop fearing deviating from the center. Americans are demanding bold solutions. Republicans support bold solutions. Yes, we know they are failed solutions, but they know how to put lipstick on a pig. Unless Democrats boldly articulate how their policies will help working Americans that pig could begin looking like a beautiful swan.
