MICHELE NORRIS: ‘DEMOCRATS HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO TELL A POWERFUL STORY THAT ACTUALLY REACHES PEOPLE’
NORRIS: “That must have created some sort of vertigo for her, Nicolle, to see that. But yet, it’s instructive. You know, you would ask what the Democrats need to do now. I’m tempted to quote Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones. You know, in that last episode he says what unites people? Is it gold? Is it armies? Is it flags? No, it’s a well told story. And Democrats have to figure out how to tell a powerful story that actually reaches people. And, you know, when I listen to Governor Beshear talk about what people feel in their gut in doing that, you know, they also have to be honest about the other headwinds that they face. We’ve been talking about the economy. But in doing whatever kind of after-action forensics they do, they also have to be willing to try to figure out how and to what extent deep-seated biases may have played into this. You know, people have a certain sense of what authority looks like in this country. All you have to do is look at the CEO class to understand that. And so, to what degree were people just uncomfortable sending a person of color or a woman, or a person who is both those things, you know, into higher office? And in order to tell that better story, they’ve got to understand the headwinds in order to do that.”
