Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) devised what he believes to be a genius strategy for Democrats in 2016: Embrace big government.
"In order to win in 2016, Democrats must embrace government, not run away from it," Schumer said.
All Democrats have to do is convince the electorate that big government can work despite the many recent embarrassments of the Democrat-controlled government.
Democrats will succeed in 2016 "if, and only if, we can convince people that government can work and help restore the middle class to prosperity," Schumer said.
