Democrats are once again having trouble explaining the passage of the current HCR bill that the polls say the public doesn't like. They are also trying to justify the use of reconciliation to complete the process. Our Democratic friends need some help.
Here are suggestions for a simplified "talking point" message that will help explain both.
We could call it the "Keep and Delete" strategy.
To explain reconciliation and completion of the bill, Democrats can say they are "using reconciliation to KEEP the popular parts and DELETE the rest."
While Republicans are trying to paint reconciliation as a bad thing, this sound bite repaints reconciliation as a good thing. Its similar to "In with good and out with the bad."
To explain the passage of the bill, Democrats can simple say they are "voting to KEEP the popular parts and DELETE the rest."
Its simple, media friendly, easy to remember, easy to understand and it even rhymes.
