real people

This morning, the DCCC gave us a little glimpse into their strategy for trying to win an R+14 District: “learn lessons from last cycle” and “listen to real people.”

Listen to real people? Groundbreaking.

“Understanding that people are more than numbers, we have made a strategic decision to invest in qualitative research that will not only help up us in Georgia’s 6th District, but also inform our message to key groups of voters ahead of 2018,” said DCCC spokesman Tyler Law. “In order to learn lessons from last cycle and maximize our gains on an expanded battlefield, we must listen to real people and see what drives them to vote, and these focus groups are an important early step towards achieving that goal.”

I would say they should just pack up and go home, but we’re having far too much fun with this.
