CNN's Kate Bolduan: There's 'No Real Clear Message' in the Democratic Party

CNN host Kate Bolduan slammed the Democratic Party on Monday for having "no real clear message" 200 days into Donald Trump's presidency.

Bolduan was speaking to Democratic operative Jon Selib when she asked whether there is an argument to be made that Democrats are in no better place now than they were when they lost to Republicans last November.

"I mean if you look at where Democrats are right now," Bolduan said, "[Democrats] lost all the special elections you guys all thought you had a chance in, there is no real clear leader of the party as everybody starts looking towards 2020, and there's no real clear message despite the attempt at the reboot."

Selib said that Democrats will have a test in 2018 and "a lot to live up to" next year for the midterm elections.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and other Democratic leaders rolled out an economic message last month to rebrand the party going into the 2018 midterm elections. Their new slogan is "A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages."

The slogan was a major flop among several progressives and media figures who castigated it, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
