    EXCERPT:

    BELCHER: “There shouldn’t be a Democrat on television talking about anything else, Nicolle. And why we have Democrats on television talking about other things, I don’t understand. This is — I think this is part and parcel of the problem that's too often with us on Democrats, is we are not message-disciplined enough, because this is our number one weakness going into re-election. And just for context, you know, in — at the end of summer, going into the fall of 2011, going into Obama’s re-elect, you had 74%, according to The New York Times polling, 74% of Americans felt the country was on the wrong track and the economy was absolutely stagnant. By the way, Nicolle, unemployment was at 9, I think 9.1, 9.2%, so you had real economic stress happening. We are not there right now. We are — this president — this president can make the case that he has steered the ship away from economic calamity, he steered us out of the economic storm, the pandemic storm, and right now we have an economy that is the strongest in the Western world. And even the economists on Wall Street, who were doubtful about it, are now changing their tune. Nicolle, for the next week, if there is a Democrat who is on the air and not talking about this, we are failing because, quite frankly, we have to turn perception about the economy, we have to talk up the economy. You know, a couple months ago we were having this conversation about whether, you know, the team Biden, they were hesitant and leaning in and talking up the economy. My God. Take away all the hesitance. Lean in and talk about the economy. It really is morning in America right now and they have to -- they have to sell it because -- they have to sell it to help Americans feel it.”
