You’ve hit the nail on the head, Joe. The task for the Dems is to find a way to reach those “every day” folks who need to hear the other side of Trump’s arguments. If I were 30 years younger and wealthy I’d start a TV station that always presented both sides of every important issue facing the nation. I find Michael Smerconish a commentator who tries to do that, at least most of the time.

The other side of this coin is that liberals also need to step outside their comfort zone - to read the Post, or watch Fox occasionally - to see what everyone is talking about - and more importantly, to see what they are *not* talking about.
