3. This is the Carville/Clinton wing of the party trying to not offend their corporate donors.

They think they have to be seen as "playing nice". The "when they go low we go high" schtick is being taken too far.

There's nothing to be lost by pointing out the Epstein connections and other crimes. They should have capitalized on that.
They should have talked about Trump's Obamas as Apes cartoon.

Trump brought up Ukraine as his SOTU coincided with the 4th anniversary. Dem response should have brought up Trump team's favoring the Russian side in negotiations but they followed a pre-scripted response instead that obviously missed the significance of the date.

They could have just pointed out his racism, criminal liability, and his family profiting off of the presidency while Americans suffer. Then they could have followed up from there with his immigration and trade polices, making sure to point out that Americans are being murdered by his gestapo and named Pretti and Goode, then highlighted the true state of the economy and from there finished up with fact-checking Trump's claims.

Maybe Dems need to escalate from Go-low, Go-high to "when they go low, we drag them straight to hell"
