Dems have hard time connecting to voters because they know so much: Hirono

[Dashinka 23,247]

Just so we are not always picking on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, here is another leading Democrat with some very wise words.  

 

By Louis Casiano | Fox News

 

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, on Tuesday told a conference that she heard one of the reasons that her party has a difficult time connecting with voters is because Democrats know so much, and have a tendency of appealing to voters' minds instead of their hearts.

 

 

Hirono made the comment at a conference in Washington, D.C. She was asked by the moderator about ways Democrats could drive voter turnout.

 

"I wish I had the answer to that because one of the things that we, Democrats, have a really hard time is connecting to people’s hearts instead of [their heads]," Hirono said. "We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [pointing to her head] but not here [pointing to her heart]."

I am sure she was misquoted an obvious genius in my estimation

Wasn't she one of those trying to stitch up Kavenaugh?

Can't wait to read what Rush thinks about this/her.

 

My lasting memory of her was from the Kavanaugh hearing.  She asked him a question, he began to answer, and she immediately said "I'm speaking!  I have only 15 minutes, you know!"  Real winner.

 

She also never made a peep about the notorious harassment committed by Sen. Daniel Inouye.

 While completely forgetting her former mentor Daniel Inouye.

Remember Reagan said something to the effect of, Our liberal friends are not ignorant,  there is just so much they know that is not true

This is true. Republican voters don't seem to care that Trump is a buffoon, a couple might have issues with some of his Twitter posts, but not much else besides. So long as their side is seen as winning, they don't seem to care one wit about anything else.

Sure, according to the Senator from Hawai’i only the Dems are smart, well at least the Democrat leadership.

How is this any different to what Republicans say about Democrats?

Not sure I have seen a Repub make a similar comment, must be one. Seems much more common coming the other way.

 

Best to ask a Repub?

Rush Limbaugh makes a concise point about this wonderful example of senatorial wisdom:
