Being anti-Trump isn’t a strategy. To win in 2028, Democrats need a clear economic message, credible leadership, and values voters actually connect with. I’m breaking this down (and more) in my new Substack, The Messina Memo. messinamemo.substack.com/p/the-1988-tra…

As someone who has run and won a presidential election, this is a masterclass on how to make a closing argument. Just wow.

Vice President Harris: The patriots at Normandy, Selma, Seneca Falls, and Stonewall… They did not sacrifice only to see us cede our freedoms and submit to the will of another petty tyrant. The United States is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. In 7 days, let us turn the

Let's be clear--the special counsel isn't a dummy and we should be very careful not to take the bait after Comey pulled this in 2016. Hur, a lifelong Republican and creature of DC, didn't have a case against Biden, but he knew exactly how his swipes could hurt Biden politically.

Let’s be clear: RFK Jr is not a Democrat. His group gives $ to the GOP. He’s an anti science, anti vax, pro conspiracy whack job running to get more eyes on his discredited theories. His supporters? Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, & fringe Reddit boards. The guy’s a liar & a kook.

This Kelly story on Trump wanting to be Hitler is as close to an October surprise as you can get. Trump's own former top aide issuing a dire warning. Never seen anything like it.

Any coverage of Trump's trip to the border today that doesn't include his admissions (plural) that he killed the strongest border security bill in our lifetime is malpractice.

After Biden mopped the floor with Paul Ryan in 2012 VP debate, I looked at him and said “you will never have a better performance than tonight.” I was wrong. Tonight is better.

Argue the substance all you want, but why 22 days before a crucial election where we MUST win house and senate to save America, why did @SenWarren have to do her announcement now? Why can’t Dems ever stay focused???

We've got to stop treating a single line in a gratuitously long, heavily editorialized special counsel's report--in which no crime was found btw--by a partisan Republican investigator like it's a bigger liability than Trump's 91 criminal charges and being found liable for rape.

Democrats need to remember what I learned back in 2011: Voters decide elections, not polls. I Was Obama’s 2012 Campaign Manager. There’s No Need to Panic Over Biden.
