MSNBC’s ‘Dems Divided’ Voter Panel Voices Concern Over Democrats Lack of Message

‘I think that there’s a lack of understanding of what the message is if there is one’

EXCERPT:

JANSING: "Well, you've seen the polls. And in America's heartland, Haley, where frustration with Donald Trump is growing, there's no guarantee that's going to turn into democratic votes. And I think a big part of it is that the key factor that helped Donald Trump get elected, that feeling by millions of Americans that they are ignored by the establishment, isn't being address in the way Democrats would like to see it addressed. That's what we found when we sat down in Racine, Wisconsin, with five voters fired up to oppose Donald Trump's policies."

JANSING: "Show of hands, how many of you think the Democratic establishment is doing a good job right now up? One tentative hand. How many of you think the Democrats could blow a real opportunity in 2018?" 
UNKNOWN MALE: "I do. Absolutely." 
JANSING: "All five of you. So what's going on that makes you feel that way?" 
HAWKINS: "I think that there's a lack of understanding of what the message is, if there is one." 
WALKINGTON: "I think holistically, the Democrats need to listen more than they speak." 
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "Just ignoring the fact that people need a reason to come out and vote."
