And Joe had and easy af answer on immigration too… Biden admin supported the bipartisan bill that would have strengthened processes to better catch these illegal killers and rapists BUT TRUMP SAID NO DONT PASS IT. I mean, how cut and dry can it possibly be? But Biden had a helluva time getting that point across just as much as trump hammered the immigration lies. Smh

This is what blew my mind. So many conservatives have no idea Trump had Mike Johnson kill that bill in Congress so Trump could run on immigration.

It amazes me how little so many voters actually know about what is going on. Biden had the opportunity to drive some truths home but seemed too exhausted to be effective last night. I couldn't even understand what Biden was saying half of the time.

Dems are so incompetent at messaging. Most Conservatives don't even know that this bill was presented. They need to have every Congressperson going to every press outlet demanding action/explanations from Republicans.

Scream that border security is important from every megaphone that you can reach, just like the Rs do. Pick out like 3 strong takeaways from the bill ($X billion for border security, supported by A/B/C, and incorporates the Republican plan), and repeat them so often that it is unavoidable. Question specific Republicans: "You said yesterday that we are putting America in jeopardy, so why are you stopping us from getting this funding for border security?" Call them out when they do their "immigrant scare" tactics, reverse it on them.

Basically do what Jon Stewart did with the medical support for veterans. Own the news cycle, do a full court press, get the soundbites. Buttigieg is like the only Democrat that knows how to do this, and it is like Republican playbook 101. It's embarrassing how poorly the party uses the modern media to get their message out.

It's annoying that the best media messaging the past eight or so years has been from The Lincoln Project which is a bunch of conservatives who hate Trump and the MAGA movement.
