@prioritiesUSA broadly speaking, however, they were skeptical of what they said they had heard from Dem candidates. Most kept coming back to idea that Dems were giving away "free stuff," but that nothing was really free. Moderator would ask specifically about m4all, and reax was not positive — PolitiTweet.org

@prioritiesUSA As far as Dem presidential field, participants gave another reminder of how little many attention is still being paid. Biden's name mentioned only once, Warren (maybe) once, Buttigieg and Sanders a couple of times. One Dem candidate discussed the most might have been Gabbard — PolitiTweet.org

This matches what @prioritiesUSA has said they found in their own focus groups, conducted right after midterms, showing people still knew little to nothing about Trump's policies. Lotta discussion of health care tonight, but not a single person mentioned DT trying to repeal ACA — PolitiTweet.org

that said, the moment the moderator asked what Trump had done to disappoint them policy-wise, the conversation dried up quick. People didn't seem to know what policies he'd pushed, in either direction (tho at least a pair of people praised the tax cuts) — PolitiTweet.org

... but the takeaways still obviously of interest. Biggest thing that broke through to me was how Trump's attitude/rhetoric/Tweets/behavior have broken through in a huge way for voters, and for the most part, damaged his chances of re-election. Consistent theme on night — PolitiTweet.org

@onenation ... and a third set of suburban voters who, likewise, backed Trump or 3rd-party in '16 but are open to a Dem candidate next year. It was ~18 people overall, close to even mix of men and women. Views there obviously not a stand-in for all swing voters ... — PolitiTweet.org

So, watched a trio of focus groups tonight hosted by @onenation, a Dem group focused on helping the party win rural voters. Groups took place outside of Charlotte, and included two sets of rural voters who backed Trump or 3rd party in '16 but say they're open to a Dem in '20 ... — PolitiTweet.org

it's not entirely a GOP story -- all Senate/House candidates have increasingly become much less about their own records and reputations and more just stand-ins for the national political climate. But the dynamic on the right is still different. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff Sessions represented Alabama in the U.S. Senate for 20 years ... and his campaign has (probably correctly) calculated the only thing that matters to voters is perceived loyalty to the president. As good an example as any of how politics works inside the GOP in the year 2019 — PolitiTweet.org
