Turrentine: Democrats Don’t Have An Agenda At All, Dislike Of Trump Is What Holds The Party Together
Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine and Kellyanne Conway evaluate the Democratic Party’s search for a leader and a unified message on FOX News.
I sure hope not. I mean, look, we are a party right now that is completely leaderless. I mean, in normal times, it would be Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. But both of them are terrified of our base. I mean, they are paralyzed with fear. Chuck Schumer is down 20 points here in New York to AOC if there was a primary today. And on top of that, we don’t have an agenda at all. All we really have that holds us together is the dislike of Donald Trump. And we saw how that went in November. And so for us to ultimately move forward, we have to come up with a real agenda that helps the real lives of real people, even on tariffs. We’re not against reshoring jobs here. We’re not against opening new markets. We may quiver with how Trump is going about it. But if he starts putting more points on the board, he’s going to get credit. And the American people aren’t really going to care about the process the last few months.
