How Democrats Are Fighting Against A President Who Won't Tell The Truth | The Last Word | MSNBC


President Trump has ramped up his false statements in the final days of the midterm elections. Lawrence says the key to Democrats campaigning successfully against Trump is to campaign on the issues and not take on Trump and his divisive rhetoric. John Heilemann and Jamil Smith join Lawrence O'Donnell.

1. Republican lies must be called out and in simple terms. They have lied to us for decades and that corruption is destroying the moral fiber of America. Let's do this:

TV spot in big bold black and white letters: TRUMP LIED TO YOU.
Then, in simple terms explain the lie and its implications.

If we can afford it, do the same for state and federal legislators.

2. State our policy positions in simple straight-forward terms in TV and newspaper ads and billboards across the nation, and perhaps on social media.

Republicans have used this approach for a long time, except they use dozens of pathways to spread their dogma, from the NRA and churches, to underground far right-wing extremist web sites, to having their own cable channel and hundreds of talk radio outlets.

Surely we can design an effective media means to begin the reversing of decades of right-wing brainwashing.

This must be a continuous, well-executed, concerted effort until the nation is turned around, not just near election time.
