I'm talking about coordination from the top down. The town hall that MSNBC held was done on 1 specific topic, fired federal workers who made their firings personal, who told their stories.

Democrats' eyes should have been opened to do more of those types of town halls.

Have you seen any debate on cable news about tax breaks for billionaires being a bad idea? The debate is over what to cut and that is a losing proposition.
