The policy is not irrelevant. Policy gets translated into talking points that in turn have an emotional impact. Trump is a very good case in point. You cannot deny that he is implementing the policies that he talked about during his campaign. From xenophobia to protectionism to anti-environment - he is following his promised platform. And he was able to translate that platform into a visceral message.

Dems need to learn to do the same. There is no shortage of material. There is a shortage of vision and conviction.

"So the policy is irrelevant. Emotion is everything. "
Sounds about right, and you have to keep the message short and snappy... we want our country back... Obama wants your guns...lock her up... what the hell do you have to lose?
