Walter: ‘Best Thing Dems Have Going for Them Right Now Is They’re Not in the W.H.’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTER: "Right. The best thing that Democrats have going for them right now is that they’re not in the White House. And they are the party of the opposition. It’s so much easier to be the party of opposition than to be the party actually making policy. And what we found, especially in these midterm or early midterm elections and special elections is that what the party has struggled with for the last eight years in the era of Obama was getting their base, that Obama electorate, excited and energized, voters of color and younger voters. They couldn’t do it when Obama was in the White House. Hillary Clinton couldn’t do it. You know who’s turning out the Obama coalition? Donald Trump. Donald Trump personally is a great motivator. And to the point about whether they can talk about these issues, I think they make a very — I think we’re going to see this over and over again, the point you made about, thousands of lobbyists worked on this bill, tax cuts for corporate America. Whether people are feeling it or not, I think becomes less important than the overall argument that this president and Republicans said they were going to help the working people. This is really the same old, same old, helping corporations. And, again, if the issue was, do I feel it in my paycheck, the biggest group of people that are souring on the president live in suburban America. Their 401(k)s are doing great right now."
