Republicans are running scared
You know it's bad when Republicans don't even mention their party in their ads, oh, and the Republican in this case is the head of the NRCC no less. Holy crap.

Now, they're pandering and trying to steal the Democrats issues, in a true ploy of desperation they are going to raise the minimum wage.

I think it's important to point out that the Republicans blocked this earlier this year and the Democrats actually have made it a promise that there will be no congressional pay raises until the minimum wage is increased.

There's no way they're stealing this one so late in the game. The Dems better make the point that this is a total capitulation to their will, in the face of complete and total dissatisfaction with the Republican party.

Oh man, if the Democrats don't run any "FLIP-FLOPPER!" ads...


... well, actually, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

As usual, the Dems will be the very last people to realize that America overwhelmingly prefers a progressive agenda. Bet they'll mostly try to play the center, YET AGAIN. Because it's worked so well for the past 6 years.

Yeah,
I can just tell they're going to screw this one up. The shouldn't. Yes it's important to get the raise through, but that will be the end of the progressive agenda, not the beginning, if they don't rub the Republicans faces in it.
