The Democrat Party must be thrilled at all the free consulting and strategy advice it receives from the "real" reporters at CNN. And that's exactly what they got Tuesday morning.
On CNN "New Day," hosts Alisyn Camerota, John Berman and commentator Bakari Sellers fretted that President Trump's "simple message" on reopening the country might actually hit home with Americans.
Camerota began by commenting, "Bakari, as you know, President Trump also doesn't really deal in details and so one of the things that he's good at is sort of the simple message, the slogan."
She pointed out the president's message of "Everybody wants to go back to work. Let’s reopen," and was clearly concerned that this might work. She then asked, "Republicans, Democrats, everybody wants their old normal. So is he winning in that way of making it seem simple and that he's on the side of getting life back to normal?"
After Sellers responded by claiming President Trump "doesn't believe in science" and "doesn't believe in fact" and another question from Berman, Camerota asked him the same question again, just phrased a bit different.
She wondered again, "Do you worry at all that President Trump is appealing to more than his base - to some of the Independents or whomever - Democrats who think that his message is just more of sort of cheerleading one than the doctors who keep wagging their fingers at us?"
