And risk any chance of taking the House in 2018
Trump keeps laying landmines, and Democrats keep viewing them as stepping stones to an inevitable landslide for Democrats in 2018. It is a Republican "strategy" too delicious, too elegant, to have been cooked up consciously by anyone.
Yet a strategy it is - get the Democrats to focus on the shiny objects - the offensive tweets - and they will avoid the really difficult work of coming up with a compelling message to encourage people to vote for Democrats.
Democrats are doing the Republicans a big favor by obsessing about how awful Trump is. They are ignoring the fact that a lot of people voted for Trump because of what they perceived as his positive message (much as that pains me to acknowledge).
I fear that until the Democratic party wakes up and develops a strong, affirmative message, the chances for Democrats are slimmer than they should be in 2018.

This is so true!! So many of those shiny tweets hide yet another loss of what really makes us great. We dems need to multitask - call him out plus come up with a solution! Then market it!!
