Congressional Republicans once bracing for the possibility of a Democratic “tsunami” in this year’s elections now appear on the offensive -- bolstered by new polls suggesting Americans like their recent tax cuts, and the opportunity to pounce on Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi remark about the bonuses and paycheck increases amounting to “crumbs.”
“Nancy Pelosi has stayed in the spotlight. Her 'crumbs' comment is something I think we can use pretty effectively,” Ohio Rep. Steve Stivers, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said at this week’s GOP policy retreat at the Greenbrier resort, in West Virginia.
To be sure, Republicans have in recent years made a familiar target of Pelosi, arguing that the Democratic Party, under the liberal California Democrat, has lost touch with working-class Americans.
Stivers made his comments a day after a Monmouth University poll showed that 47 percent of registered voters now favor or would pick a Democratic candidate in this year’s congressional races, compared to 45 percent who would support a Republican. That’s compared to Democrats’ 51-to-36-percentage-point advantage in the school’s so-called generic poll in December.

Crumbs comment aside, I think pictures of Pelosi, Hoyer, et al, sitting on their hands, with sour faces, during the SOTU would be the most effective ads out there!

The Democrats made fools of themselves at the SOTU in front of the entire country.
A few arrests now would help with some votes. It is not like any raving Libs are going to vote any differently. Sure would bolster a few on the fence.
Pfft! They lost touch with working-class Americans decades ago. Now they are only in touch with "the browns." Frankly, they have all lost touch with sanity. Every day they sink deeper and deeper into lunacy. Why, just today...
