House Dems bet on 'For the People' slogan to counter Trump 'tweet' machine

House Democrats say they finally have a midterm slogan that can burst through President Trump’s “tweet” machine: “For the People.” Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, co-chair of House Democrats’ messaging arm, and her colleagues unveiled the new line Wednesday after a private meeting with members. They say it sums up the party’s position on three core issues: health care costs, infrastructure projects and efforts to expose corruption.

“We basically put it all on paper to say here are our top issues — they’re simple, they’re easy to understand,” the lawmaker told Politico. “That’s how you break through this tweet machine coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

She added that no one thought the message was “poetic,” although they agreed it conveys “the answer to what we stand for.”

Previous messaging attempts by Democrats included “Better Deal” and the idea that Mr. Trump is “Self-Dealing.”

She’s a co-chair? What kind... desk, arm, electric, wheel?

Have you noticed how many ‘RAT politicians are pretending to be priests and nuns these days. What a joke. Their dumbing down of America scheme is working.

“For the Party” would be more accurate.

http://dailycaller.com/2018/07/18/the-democratic-partys-new-motto-same-as-a-used-car-dealership-personal-injury-law-firm/

“House Democrats revealed their new slogan for the upcoming 2018 elections, but whoever was behind it probably forgot to check that it’s identical to the one used by a used car dealership in Texas and a personal injury law firm in Florida.

The motto, “For the People,” debuted at a private meeting with members Wednesday, according to Politico. (RELATED: Abolishing ICE Looks Likely To Become 2020 Campaign Issue For Democrats)

Yet Democrats probably won’t like to know that their new message for American voters is the same used by some of the sleaziest businesses in the country, namely used car dealers and ambulance chasers.

Forthepeople.com is currently registered by Morgan & Morgan, a “leading personal injury law firm dedicated to protecting the people, not the powerful” ran out of Orlando.

Elder Mitsubishi, owned by Scott Elder in Austin, declared itself the “car dealer ‘For the People’” in 2011. Check out its TV ad below.”

Seems like a perfect fit for the RAT Party.

"For the People". Hmm...not very catchy. It's a shame that "Power to the People" was already taken.
