CNN's Jonah Goldberg Says Trump Has House Republicans Cutting Themselves'
"It's a great question because we inherited a terrible, terrible mess. We brought the prices down from when I came into office, and from what Biden had. Way down! We're gonna bring them down further. But the job we did is a miracle. One of the reasons I'm doing this today is to explain: we inherited a mess and we've made it a beautiful, beautiful picture."
"But it's very much like his speeches. He reads the first few paragraphs, he gets bored, and he starts to weave, he continued. And if you give people, We're going to invade Greenland,' they're going talk about invading Greenland, right? If you start calling the person who just got shot in the face a domestic terrorist before any of the facts are in, you're going to make the conversation about that."
A lack of message discipline undermines the ability to sell policy achievements and fosters internal party conflict. Erratic public comments that shift topics and prioritize attention over consistency steer conversation away from substantive accomplishments like border enforcement and Venezuela policy. Specific attention-grabbing claims — invoking invading Greenland or prematurely labeling a shooting victim a domestic terrorist — create prolonged distractions and set the news agenda. Repeating focused messages about popular, successful actions could consolidate support and protect party cohesion. Without consistent message discipline, political actors struggle to sustain disciplined, serious arguments and risk intra-party fracturing.
