I literally have no idea what policies Hillary Clinton was prioritizing. This is different, this is great, this is exciting! Forget the horse race: 2019 is generating an amazing public debate on progressive policies. Follow the policies not the polls.
To be extremely clear: Hillary Clinton had policy papers on many issues and her campaign tried to break through media coverage with many of them. But, they failed to do so, because they did not focus on in few enough to make her priorities stick.
I really applaud those people who went to Clinton's website and read through her policy positions. But, most people do not have the time or drive to do that. That is what made Trump's single policy campaign: Mexican pay for Wall, so effective. Everyone in US knew his policy goal.
Democrats have strongly believe in journalistic integrity: Republicans use that to bludgeon them. Republicans (1) ride media empires that benefit from saying whatever bullshit they want with no consequences (2) bully the media into false equivalency: Democrats watch helplessly.
Democrats can maintain journalistic integrity and still call-out false equivalency when they see it. As Republicans bully mainstream media from right by calling them biased for any negative coverage, Democrats must strenuously counter by emphasizing objectivity in their reporting
