Why Republicans Lose the Narrative Battle

I heard Trump was unelectable, that the election was over, that it was a joke. That he was misogynist, racist, all around evil. I read it in every newspaper, saw it on every network.

And yet he won. That's the left winning the narrative?

the left is winning the narrative, because their target is the most cowardly of the congressional Republicans. By casting doubt on Trump’s legitimacy in their minds, they can be intimidated into opposing Trump’s agenda. The Dems expect that we will punish the Republicans for failing us by not voting for the incumbents in the midterms, making it possible for the Dems to retake congress.

The GOP wins elections because we want something other than liberalism. The Dems get that, and it scares them. The GOP leadership does not get that.

Yes, that’s their narrative.

They are continuing to push it. I listened to my local NPR affiliate this morning and they repeatedly used the words “misogynist” and “racist”. I don’t know if they mentioned “all around evil” because I couldn’t stand to listen for very long. But in that short time, they also tossed in plenty of “xenophobic”, “homophobic”, and “islamophobic”. Not just Trump, but all conservative. They were discussing how they need to fight back against us because of all these terrible traits we have.
