The Republicans will never win if they don’t start educating their ‘spokespeople’ on TV. The Democrats have talking points - most of them lies - the uneducated Republican just sits there. They should be able to strike back with the truth.
Example: the Democrats say ObamaCare strengthens Medicare. The truth is, this is a big LIE. The CBO says that would be double-counting:
“To describe the full amount of HI trust fund savings as both improving the government’s ability to pay future Medicare benefits and financing new spending outside of Medicare would essentially double-count a large share of those savings and thus overstate the improvement in the government’s fiscal position.”

Sorry, repeating this in the hope some GOP leader will see it!
I agree with you 100%. But remember the Republicans just sat there for years on end while Democrats kept repeating: "Bush only gave tax cuts to the rich."
That would have been an easy one to fight, but no, the Republicans just sat there until it became the "truth."
