MSNBC’s Morning Joe hosts mentioned the massive modifications they’re seeing within the Democratic Get together after evening 3 of the DNC, stating that the celebration that was once simple to beat is now on the offense and turning weaknesses into strengths which is difficult to beat.
Watch:
WILLIE GEIST: Speaking final evening about immigration Senator Chris Murphy, who was one of many co-authors of that laws that Donald Trump killed, together with James Lankford of Oklahoma, the Republican there, he got here out and stated, We labored arduous for months and months and months. We acquired the deal Republicans stated they wished we offered it to them, and Donald Trump got here in and killed the invoice. Kamala Harris says, I’ll signal that invoice once I turn into president. Going arduous. Very attention-grabbing. This is a matter that Donald Trump thinks he has on Democrats. And the Democrats final evening say, no, really, you killed that invoice. We’re going to be on the offensive on immigration.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Yeah. I imply, it’s a New Democratic Get together. There’s a unique sort of Democratic Get together than the kind that I ran towards. I imply, you understand, they had been at all times very simple to go after and that, like, you understand, kind of run round in circles. They usually had been for the struggle earlier than they had been towards the struggle. They had been this. They had been that. You are taking a problem that they had been nervous about after which run away from it and also you simply, it might be simply simple, simple to run towards them.
Now they’re doing precisely what you’re alleged to do, take the problem that’s your weak spot, make it your energy, and go straight at them with it. And it’s arduous to beat that.
Republicans went together with Donald Trump tanking essentially the most conservative invoice Republicans had been ever going to get on the border as a result of they believed it might be a cudgel they may use towards Democrats. However now the shoe is on the opposite foot.
Not solely have southern border crossings plunged 56% not too long ago on account of actions taken by President Joe Biden and his administration, however Democratic nominee for President Vice President Kamala Harris has promised to signal that conservative border invoice into regulation if she is elected.
Harris actually took Trump’s largest political fear-mongering device (bear in mind the caravans? They magically come again each election) and turned it towards him.
It’s not simply the border, both. It’s the best way this Democratic Get together strikes, is reclaiming patriotism (sans nationalism, by the best way) and love for nation and neighbor. The DNC has had a number of Republicans and Independents making the case to individuals like them that voting for Harris-Walz is love of nation, thereby creating the permission construction for individuals who would possibly culturally really feel obligated to vote for Trump-Vance to rethink their very own private values.
The Democratic Get together has modified — not in its values, however in its messaging. The celebration that has at all times been overwhelmed up on the marketing campaign path by glib bumper sticker slogans usually by dangerous religion actors is lastly right here to combat robust, combat arduous, and win for the individuals…
Simply in time to tackle encroaching fascism.
