Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, argued that the Democratic Party does not have a “cohesive message” to take back the House but said “eyes are wide open” at the White House as the midterm elections inch closer.Conway was asked to describe how she is advising the president to handle the midterm elections, given that many Democrats are predicting a blue wave.
“As far as I can tell, their only message is we are going to win and take over the House. They don’t have a cohesive message as far as I can see,” she told PJM at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. “Many of them, I’ve read in the paper, have had to go home and explain to their constituents why they voted against historic tax cuts that has led to so much growth and prosperity and the five million or so bonuses and raises for those Americans at the over 500 companies who have stood up and done that for their employees.”
“They have to explain why they are voting against measures like that,” she added. “At the same time, our eyes are wide open. The party in power suffers grievance losses traditionally at the ballot box.”
Conway noted that “President Bill Clinton lost 54 seats, President Barack Obama lost 63 in the House and called it a shellacking – and he was right, it was.”
