I hope we can good candidates who will campaign on a good economic and jobs message rather than a drain the swamp platform.

Their party is too fractured between what can be considered the left, the moderates, and the establishment dems with agendas and messages going in different directions. The only thing that's barely holding them together is their dislike of Trump, and with the economy taking off like it is now the dems are going to have an uphill battle this Fall, from what I see.
You're right that they need a unifying message, but what ought to give Republicans pause is that even without such a message, their star seems to be well on the rise. I'd argue that the Republicans are at least as fractured, and those fissures will become more apparent as the year goes on. Look at the number of ® Congress-members who aren't running for reelection ... this too is part of the Trump Effect.
