Democrats are furious about Trump uniting Republicans: Katie Zacharia

Panelists Katie Zacharia and Roxanne Hoge discuss how the Democrats are struggling to find a central leader for their party on ‘Fox News @ Night.’

For decades, Democrats have clung to James Carville’s mantra: "It’s the economy, stupid." It became the default excuse for every campaign message, every strategy and every setback.  

We need to retire that phrase from our political lexicon. 

My fellow Democrats forget that Carville’s first rule on his whiteboard in Little Rock wasn’t the economy, stupid. It was "Change vs. more of the same." Voters still want change — not numbers, not excuses. And if President Donald Trump offers change while Democrats defend the system as it is, Democrats will lose. 

JAMES CARVILLE WARNS DEMOCRATS NOT TO GET BAITED INTO DISCUSSING WOKE ISSUES: 'YOU’RE GOING TO LOOK SILLY'

Today, my party is jumping onto a shiny substitute considered to be the winning message that unites all — "affordability" — as if the idea that lower prices are better than higher ones is a revelation. Has a candidate ever campaigned on the reverse?

During the Biden administration, consumer costs inflated on our watch, but now we are asking midterm voters to give us the keys back to the car anyway.  

When is my party going to learn that politics is about culture and connection, not charts and spreadsheets? It’s about being relevant to the lives of ordinary people, not proving to them that we are right. 

DEMOCRATS ARE STILL LOST BUT ONE YEAR AFTER BIDEN'S EXIT, THEY'RE STARTING TO FOLLOW A RIVAL'S ROADMAP

Voters aren’t sitting in some academic economics lecture. They don’t care about GDP growth, labor-force participation rates, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics when they feel prices are too high. They don’t want to hear that homicides, robberies and carjackings have decreased according to the latest stats, when they feel unsafe. Sending in the National Guard won’t be a solution to ending crime in our inner cities, but it does make communities feel protected.  

Are Democrats so disconnected from reality that we’ve unlearned the most basic political principle of all, that perception and politics go hand-in-glove?
