Yes Senator Murphy! Yes! A thousand times this!!!

10. Yes. But let's generalize the advice.

We get nowhere with a message "Trump is a poopy head"

Americans get that. But they think most politicians from BOTH parties are all poopy heads.

We need to have specific ideas, clear actions we promise to fight for, if the American people will support us. And if they give us a governing majority, then we promise we will get these SPECIFIC things done.

Breaking up the monopolies is a very good starting point. We have cartels acting in nearly every major industry: insurance, telecom, pharma, the media and so on. We SHOULD act on that.

But there are also very specific things we should running on in other areas. We should have specific plans for making billionaires pay their fair share for the society that has made them spectacularly wealthy and provides then the safety to hoard their wealth.

We should have a specific plan for cutting our HC costs in half. And the only plan that gets us there is Medicare for all.

We should have specific plans, not just vague talk, about gun violence, and that must include eliminating the military assault weapons.

We must deal with the accelerating cost of university-level education. Where are the specific proposals? A first step is to charge student loans the lowest interest rate that the biggest corporations get.

And so on.

These are all ideas the public supports by strong majorities, even before candidates get out in from of that parade.
