3. Just that the failure to pass the the tax extension for the middle class was going |

to be harmful to the citizens, the economy. The talking points they've been saying all along. But you could tell he was almost incredulous that even Schumer's amendment didn't pass -- he said "What are we even doing here?" Frustrated.

the Democrats won't think outside the box and do something different. Who do they think they're reaching on C-SPAN?. They are reaching approximately 14 people there. They should have gone to the networks and tell them they have breaking news and throw a news conference. By breaking into the American couch potato's comfort zone, and by making their case clearly, simply, succinctly they just might be able to start a groundswell. Instead, they are just going to kvetch in near secrecy on C-SPAN. If the tables were turned, the republicans would take some bold step to get the message out and win the argument.

5. Very sad. The messaging and communication have been a disaster on this issue where we could've |

framed the conversation to our benefit. Unbelievably frustrating to see such a loss against the vocal lie machine of the right.
