How the SCOTUS confirmation process plays out in Congress and in the campaign is TBD. Based on some recent polling, I have some thoughts on how we can make Republicans pay a political price for rigging the court. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
1. Make it about the issues, not GOP hypocrisy or process fouls. The best message about the GOP rushing to confirmation to get a Justice that will help them overturn the ACA in the middle of a pandemic. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
2. Keep the Fight Big. The person Trump nominates is beside the point. We know that person will overturn Roe V. Wade, the ACA, and a new Voting Rights bill. Keep the focus on the policy implications not the specifics of the nominee.
messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
3. Remind people that Trump and the Republicans are rushing this nomination out of weakness, not strength. The believe Trump is losing and they know their agenda is too unpopular to enact through the democratic process. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
4. Talk about court expansion (NOT PACKING!)in terms of restoring balance to the courts, not retribution for McConnell's misdeeds. If Trump succeeds, 5 of 9 justices will have been appointed by Presidents that ascended to office despite getting fewer votes messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…

1. NEW: Even though jury selection has just begun, defeatism is already infecting the coverage of Trump’s trial. No matter the verdict, Trump will suffer no meaningful political damage. I could not disagree more. Trump’s trial is a huge political problem for him. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
2. The general tone of 2024 political coverage is that everything is bad news for Biden and nothing hurts Trump. This is asinine. Trump needs to hold his 2020 voters and persuade some new ones to win. A criminal conviction does not help matters.
messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-t…
3. Exit polls show that 30% of GOP primary voters won't view Trump as fit for the presidency even if he is convicted. Most of them will come home, but if 3-5% of Trump voters abandon him, it's game over.

Last week,Trump went on a national radio to accusee Joe Biden of delivering the State of the Union while high on cocaine. Most of the media ignored this deranged accusation. The reasons why help explain how the press inadvertently normalizes the dangerously abnormal Trump. messageboxnews.com/p/why-the-pres…
The coverage of the interview was emblematic of the press’s attitude towards Trump. He does a rally or interview filled with insane, incoherent ramblings and then the news clips the most coherent 30-45 seconds to air as part of the package.

Because Joe Biden is a serious person who tells the truth, the press holds him to an exponentially higher standard than Trump. messageboxnews.com/p/why-the-pres…

Ever since the State of the Union, there have been a bunch of national polls that show Biden inching ahead of Trump. Here's what I think is happening and why Biden has gained momentum in recent weeks: messageboxnews.com/p/are-bidens-p…
1. It's clear that Biden's State of the Union helped ease concerns about his age and increased enthusiasm, especially among his 2020 coalition. Bringing them home is the first - and most important - step to winning the race
messageboxnews.com/p/are-bidens-p…
2. Since the State of the Union, the @WhiteHouse and @BidenHQ have been aggressively visible with campaign visits and ads. They are driving a negative message against Trump and have him on the defensive for the first time in a while.

The Special Counsel's report is a partisan hit job. Its characterizations of Biden don't match those relayed by everyone who talks to him, including GOPers. However, it speaks to Biden's biggest vulnerability. Therefore, it must be dealt with. Here's how: messageboxnews.com/p/thoughts-on-…
One thing that should not get lost is that Biden was exonerated. The report details the differences between Biden's cooperation with and Trump's obstruction of the probes into their handling of classified information. messageboxnews.com/p/thoughts-on-…
Joe Biden is 81 years old, but Hur’s pejorative portrait doesn’t match how everyone else describes their interactions with the President. Biden meets with GOPers, CEOS et al all the time if he was having memory lapses, we would know messageboxnews.com/p/thoughts-on-…

1. Trump's win in Iowa may be the "largest ever," but it's actually pretty unimpressive when you consider that Trump is the defacto incumbent running against some subpar candidates. Here's why the Iowa results are actually evidence of Trump's weakness: messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-i…
2. Trump won Iowa by 10 points in 2016 and 2020. Demographically, it's one of the more MAGA-friendly states, yet only half of the state's most committed Republicans backed the former President. That seems more like weakness than strength to me. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-i…
2. In the entrance polls, 1/3 of GOPers said they thought Trump would be unfit if convicted. Trump cannot affor to lose any of his voters in the general against Biden. messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps-i…

1. Democrats have a moral and political obligation to make Trump's plans to be a dictator on "day one" a centerpiece of the 2024 campaign, but how we talk about matters A LOT:

messageboxnews.com/p/how-to-talk-…
2. Bill Clinton once said, "When people feel uncertain, they'd rather have someone strong and wrong than weak and right." That statement is a perfect encapsulation of Trump's political appeal to a critical share of the electorate: messageboxnews.com/p/how-to-talk-…
3. Strength is the vector upon which American politics is decided, and it’s one on which Trump currently holds a significant advantage. When Dems panic about how Trump will deploy power, we are inadvertently making him seem strong to some voters. messageboxnews.com/p/how-to-talk-…
