The Democratic Party should advertise the ACA exchanges if Trump won't let DHSS do it.

If not the party, the Clinton Foundation and the foundation that President Obama has just set up could do that.

1. Where will the money come from to advertise the ACA?

The DNC has had fundraising shortfalls. The DCCC has outraised the RCCC, but that money is for 2018 midterm campaigns.

5. Start by using social media.

Get tons of clips out about it on YouTube and other video services...get Dem politicians to use their personal Twitter feeds...Arrange to go on MSNBC...

At the next round of GOP "town meeting", have people use the question and answer session to promote the exchanges, while asking the 'thug du jour whether he thinks its right that the administration is trying to defy the will of Congress and destroy the ACA when there wasn't a vote to destroy it.

Have mass rallies on the days the exchanges open, telling people where they are

6. Social media still cost money.

It's the reason why no one believes the Russians only spent a hundred thousand on ads.

Democrats using their tweeter feeds will only reach those who are already plugged into politics and follow the issues closely.

Also, rallies cost money as well. Ask California about a politician that hasn't paid them for security costs incurred last year.

2. actually do something useful and take credit, for example

"the democratic party of (. .....) reminds you to sign up for obamacare before the dead line on (....)

[Ken Burch]

3. Yeah...that's a great idea.

One of the major problems was that, in the midterms where we were crushed, the party did essentially NO ads defending the ACA.

8. I've been thinking the same thing.

No specifically Democrats organizing to ensure a successful open enrollment - but at least groups dedicated to saving the ACA organizing signing parties, information, etc.

9. It is an idea a lot of people could come up with at the same time.

That's a sign of its validity, no matter who came up with it first.

10. My point, exactly, Ken. Thanks for pointing it out.
