Democrats Need To Go Into The Lion's Den [View all]

Last edited Thu Jan 30, 2025, 08:56 AM - Edit history (1)

The Senate confirmation hearings are not about determining if a candidate is qualified, they are about Magat Senators forced to show fealty to Trump, by approving the worst possible candidates or they will be primaried.

What Democrats should have done: Need to do right now.

Pete Hegseth - At the onset there was a question if Joni Ernst was going to vote no. Democrats should have done town halls in Iowa to show the people what was to come with Hegseth as SOD. Ernst would have been the 4th vote no.

RFK Jr. - Do town halls in Louisiana - where Dr. Cassidy is the Senator. Explain to the people the harm that JFK Jr. is going to do to them.

Democrats should be doing town halls in every state. Show the people what Project 2025 is going to do to them. Just imagine if after those town halls unwashed Magats start calling in to their Representatives instead of Democrats calling in. The Congressional Magats are going to have to make a choice between getting primaried or having their constituents pissed at them, and maybe losing in the general election.

Democrats seeking out microphones in DC is a good idea, going into the lion's den is a better idea.
