"Go into a fallen-down, blighted house, slap some granite countertops while ignoring real problems, and declare their work the best thing ever! They have swagger. They can say to their voters that's right, we block every last thing we could. We shut down government! We're still planning to repeal ObamaCare even though we know that would mean taking insurance away from millions of people. We talk a good game." "And then you have the people who will do the more substantial, structural changes. They'll redo the wiring or reinforce the foundation. But they won't do anything to actively or aggressively court buyers or their work. Try as they might, they can't make the house look good. Ya know, Democrats?"She spouted a few, bogus, pro-ObamaCare talking points before adding:
"They're not even owning it. No confidence, no swagger, no "Yeah, you can't keep your crappy plan. Just deal with that!'"Harris-Perry ignores the truism about polishing a turd, and instead tells Democrats that they need to be more imposing marketers. The "home" in question may be an overpriced mess, but Dems have created a law that allows them to force people to move in at gunpoint. If you liked the house you were already in, tough. She's decided that this one is better so, whether you can afford it or not, you're going to want to get packing. In Harris-Perry's warped mind, the quickest path to Democrat victory is to smile and force the sheep do what the party says. If the "little people" don't like it, tell them to "deal with that." This is sage advice. I for one would certainly like to hear more campaigning Dems shouting "Deal with that!" at their constituents. Voters just love that attitude. Let's hope the party follows her blueprint.
