D-Calif Senator Adam Schiff regrets the Democrats lack a “coordinated response” to President Donald Trump in an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Sunday.
“I think the lack of coordinated response in the league state is a mistake, frankly, it focuses on where it should be, and it is the fact that the president has said an hour and 40 minutes, and there is nothing to say, he will lower the cost of that address on the kitchen table for him, hoping that he can provide them with new rent to help them with their residence, or pay, or pay, or pay.
The lawmakers responded to Senator John Fettman’s criticism of the democratic response. Fetterman describes it as “a self-owned sad cavalry and a godless ghost.”
Schiff continued: “They are destroying the economy and making things that are increasingly difficult for Americans to afford. That’s where we need to keep the focus, which is why we lost the last election because we didn’t focus on the high cost of living, and what they’re doing now is just making it so bad.”

Carl also asked Schiff about how Democrats should respond to the president’s party. The ABC News host specifically mentioned Democratic strategist James Carville, who suggested the party “playing death” and carried out a strategic political retreat.
Schiff said he disagreed, adding that Democrats need “a broad and bold agenda of their own to improve the economic well-being of Americans.”
“We need to come up with policies and make arguments about what we have to offer, not just stand and let them collapse under the weight of their own corruption. For me, that’s not enough. We need to use litigation as effectively as we do. We need to use communication effectively to talk to new people in new ways, just like we do.”
Other members rejected Cavill’s advice, including Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt).

After the speech, free media figures including late-night host Stephen Colbert laughed at the paddle.
“He once again made a shocking claim, but you don’t worry: Democrats are ready to fight back with small paddles,” Colbert said after Trump’s speech.
Colbert lifted his oar, which read “Try to do something.”
