Has anyone in Connecticut seen Senator Chris Murphy lately?
He recently made an appearance on a podcast with CA Governor Gavin Newsom. When asked how he felt about Democrats having a favorability rating with Americans of 20%, the lowest ever, he replied that people are frustrated with Trump. SO, the Democrats are viewed negatively and it's Trump's fault?!
Will this tactic continue to work for Dem candidates? Riding on the anti-Trump message has proven successful in the past municipal election but the consequences are costly. Higher taxes, more government control, less parental rights, declining reading scores for our children and less support for those who keep us safe are just some of the effects. Many local municipalities are also regretting electing representatives who aren't the best fit for the role.
What do you think? Will candidates be able to avoid accountability and discussions regarding their credibility to get votes by throwing around hateful rhetoric? OR is it finally time for the best representatives to get elected?
