<p>In a recent interview on MSNBC, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer explained the Democrats&#8217; future strategy – at least his version. He prefaced his explanation by first claiming that the Democratic Party was totally united. Uh huh!</p>



<p>Contrary to Schumer’s wishful thinking, Democrats are all over the media, differing and bickering on how to handle Trump. “Unity” does not seem to be the applicable word. The divide is between the currently dominant Bernie Sanders/ Ocasio-Cortez faction and such moderates(?) as California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan is obvious.</p>



<p>As evidence of his unity theory, Schumer cites the recent votes in Congress in which all Democrats voted against Trump proposals – including the deportation of criminal aliens &#8230; eliminating fraud and waste from government operations &#8230; extending the tax break for all American taxpayers &#8230; and preserving women’s sports for women. All that legislative unity has gotten Democrats the lowest favorability rating (27%) in modern times. </p>



<p>So, what is Schumer’s grand strategy for taking on Trump and his policies?  ;He is doubling down on the strategy Democrats have used unsuccessfully for several years – attack Trump and everything he does. ; And secondarily attack everyone who supports him.</p>



<p>Schumer detailed his strategy with three upcoming attack events. ; Social Security Day will be an attack on a phony issue – a HUGE political lie. ; They will oppose cuts in Social Security benefits. ;</p>



<p>It is nothing less than mendacious fearmongering. No one legitimately on Social Security now or in the foreseeable future will have their benefits terminated or reduced &#8230; period. Eventually, the truth will emerge as we Social Security recipients realize that we are getting our checks as usual and on time. The Trump policy is to end fraud and waste.</p>



<p>Schumer’s second announced event will be “Healthcare Day,” in which Democrats will contend that Trump policies will take away Medicare and Medicaid. Another lie. The Trump policy is to rid those programs of billions of dollars of waste and fraud – something Democrats are loathe to do.</p>



<p>The third event announced by Schumer will be Climate Day. In terms of mobilizing voters, that one simply lacks gravitas. It is an abstraction for most voters – unlike the things that impact their pocketbooks. It excites a portion of the Democrat base, but that’s it.</p>



<p>The Democrats&#8217; main problem – as evidenced by Schumer &#8212; is that they are stuck on negative. They are not offering any positive pro-active alternatives to Trump’s policies. They do not have any plans (or desire) to close the border and deport criminals and undesirables. They have no plan to reduce federal spending, the deficit or the National Debt. They have no plan to push back against unfair trade practices. </p>



<p>They are so obsessed with resistance to Trump at every turn that they wind up defending waste and fraud in government &#8230; supporting men in women’s sports and locker rooms&#8230; opposing deportation of gangbangers, drug cartellians and vicious criminals &#8230; condoning attacks on Jewish students &#8230; and supporting nutty woke pronoun policies.</p>



<p>The radical left is so deranged over Trump that they even attack their allies who take a more moderate (and sensible) approach. They attack anyone who even talks to Trump or says anything positive – such as Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Gavin Newsom, Bill Maher, Josh Rogan and others.</p>



<p>Democrats seem to be stuck with three losing strategies—oppose EVERYTHING Trump says or does &#8230; shameful fearmongering &#8230; and class warfare. Schumer is simply repackaging the old losing strategy – and they should be able to see how that turned out. </p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Schumer explains Democrats attack … attack … attack … strategy
