'War machine': Senator urges Democrats to regroup with anti-GOP attack strategy

Democrats need to build a "war machine" capable of sustained and rapid attacks on the GOP agenda, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) wrote in a new memo to state party leaders obtained by Politico.

Republicans, wrote Whitehouse in the memo, “rapidly and effectively deploy false narratives, while we struggle to bring true ones to bear.” The problem, he continued, is there's no central machine to coordinate Democratic strategy and messaging — no equivalent to the GOP's right-wing cable networks like Fox News.
