Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said “missing in 2016” was “a strong, bold, sharp-edged and common sense economic agenda” from Democrats.
Schumer said, “Democrats need a strong, bold, sharp-edged and common sense economic agenda. Policy, platform, message that appeal to the middle class, that resonate with the middle class and show and united Democrats. I’ve been working on that for months. Talking to Democrats House and Senate, all across the country. I’ve been talking to Trump voters.”
“I was at a Yankee game on Saturday night; we sit in the grand stand — wearing an I’m proud to be a deplorable voter, a truck driver shirt. This economic message is going to resonate. It’s not going to be baby steps. It’s going to be bold. We’re coming out with it many this summer, within a month. Democrats will try to pass it for a year and campaign on it in 2018. It’s what we were missing in 2016 and in the past. We know that. When you lose an election, you don’t blame others. You blame yourself.”
