The president is an idiot

50. He does raise a good point though

Democrats do much better with Red States when they have someone who can use their simple dialect. Bill Clinton was a master at it. Of course Dubya thrived on it.

Obama was too 'uppity' sounding for them, which of course was not a fault on his part. For as much as I admired his slow thoughtful responses that dissected the opposition so efficiently to those who appreciated it, there were those that take that as talking down to them (especially from an AA) Hillary just wasn't a great communicator period and came off as that teachers pet who always got A's and sat in the front row. Bernie did better because he stuck to a limited number of talking points that he hammered home. But he still wasn't high on the "ah shucks" register.

I think we need.....even if it is all put on for the camera and crowd......someone who can use that simpleton language and inflection, and be able to explain how their problems are generated from Republicans, and how Democrats will help them. I don't care if you want to call it crass or hypocritical or underhanded. If that is the only way to reach these folks then so be it.

Too often Democratic leadership ASSUME that its just the message they need to get out, and the way they get it out does not matter because the message is the obvious correct one. And that people will somehow just get smarter and realize that eventually.

The medium is the message.
