MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels: Dems Think Bernie and AOC Should Skip the Word ‘Oligarchy’ and Talk About Corruption

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Telling you, dude, they got to do something with this chair thing because a little short this morning. You know, the thing that I want to pick up on, Eugene, is the question I kind of put on the table is this approach, I love it. First off, you know, the oligarchy tour, I think, kind of misses middle America because, again, Democrats, in my view, being tone deaf from what the American people are saying, you know, folks sitting at the local pub aren’t using the term oligarchy.
>> Okay, wait, but I’m sorry, they’re in middle America. He launched a tour in Omaha. They were.
>> In Denver. Look again. Again. It doesn’t it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter where you launch it. It’s what you say when you launch it. And if you’re using terms and phraseology. Right. That is not directly connecting people, then that becomes a concern in the process. I mean, you’re covering this here on the hill and out on the streets. What are you hearing the responses to this? I think, you know, I talked to a bunch of Democrats.

>> A connection. There and that people understand in their everyday lives.
>> And the one that.
>> Is already kind of exists in the lexicon of.
>> Our. Political environment and that people.
>> Are that gets people riled up.
>> And so that’s one. But I do think that someone.
>> Has been waiting for anyone to do anything right, looking for.
>> Some member of.
>> Congress.
>> Whether it be Bernie Sanders or Hakeem Jeffries or someone to.
>> Find a way to gather people together, rile them.
>> Up, and then more importantly.
>> Channel that into.
>> Something else. Right.
>> What happens.
>> After that?
>> And that’s kind of where they are. And so this is kind of a test case to see if these kinds of things will actually end up working.
>> I think.
>> The bigger thing is.
>> What happens after you’re talking about.
>> Do you do you try.
>> To. Find a.
>> Way to bring some Republicans
