Saw a "Democratic strategist" say "we have to earn people's trust back." Just mind-boggling that so many don't understand how this works.

If you’re still on Twitter expecting to get breaking news, you’re the same as someone waiting for the stagecoach delivery while everyone else is clustered around the telegraph.
