It's a start.  I'd feel somewhat better with a more explicit positive agenda...

For some reason, Democrats either offer too much detail or none at all.  They lack the gut-punch narratives the GOP uses all the time.  It may have to do with the RW press, since they hone the GOP message for them.  Dems need to get better, and fast. 

2018 is either a bellwether or the death knell of the Democratic Party.  If they can't win big against a blowhard and feckless opponent, they need to exit the stage.

Good diagnostic, David.

The attack oriented negative image building is a decent part of it.  Clinton 42 was the Teflon president.  His opponents would go after him tooth an nail, but he had enough positive points to defy and ignore those trying to 'go low'.  He had his own ethics, or lack thereof, and was ready to thumb his nose at any who wished to go the low road.

Hillary and Trump aren't Teflon coated.  Hillary isn't as bad as her opponents portrayed her.  Trump?  I feel he isn't as bad as folks are pretending, but I'm not greatly impressed either.  He doesn't seem to have the people skills to pull it together, with or without a press loaded up on a hostile world view.  With the current notion that it's OK to attack and diminish, it's almost like a Teflon saint is needed.
