Vox’s Jeff Stein with the scoop on what Dems have chosen for their 2018 slogan:
A member of Congress told me Democrats big 2018 slogan, which is set to be released Monday. It's: "Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages"

Update: Stein deleted the tweet above and issued this correction. Now it’s even better?
I shouldve corrected this immediately; I've deleted original tweet. Full slogan is "A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages"

It really is the Papa John’s slogan:
“Better ingredients, better .. oh shit." https://t.co/XlgVoXqNcc

Even former Obama staffers agree it sucks:
Please God someone tell me this is not real. This is the shittiest slogan I have ever seen. Fire the consultant who created it right now. https://t.co/mrwtJONdss

ALLOW ME TO SECOND ANYONE WITH A FUCKING BRAIN: THIS SLOGAN IS GARBAGE. Hoping it's not real. https://t.co/OxEwc6FPcM

It took them months to come up with it, too:
Another member noted that this is the result of months of polling and internal deliberations among the House Democratic caucus

And do they understand this punches President Obama in the face?
Also, this is an odd choice, given that the Democrats just got finished exclaiming over the resurgent Obama economy. https://t.co/5XMWYkP1iW

It looks like Tim Kaine could be behind the original:

Better Skills. Better Jobs. Better Wages. My thoughts on why Dems need a stronger economic message in @USATODAY https://t.co/Y291m0n44M

Maybe not listen to the guy who couldn’t beat Trump, ‘eh?
