Schumer: We didn’t have an economic message

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that the Democrats did not have a “bold economic message” in their platform during the presidential election.
{mosads}“We did not have a strong, bold economic message,” Schumer told ABC’s “This Week.”
“We sort of nibbled around the edges. … That’s what we need and that’s what I aim to do as leader. We’re going to have a very, very strong and bold economic platform and message,” he added.
Reflecting on Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump, Schumer emphasized the need for Democrats to hold Trump accountable to the promises he made “to the blue-collar worker.”
“We shouldn’t just do a little thing about college, we should make college affordable for everybody and make sure that everyone gets out of college debt-free. We need dramatic change in the trade laws,” he said.
