B-Man Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 SALENA ZITO: Will The Democrats Blow It With Middle America Again? In the weeks, then months, and now years after losing the presidential election in 2016, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly demonstrated in speeches and television interviews she has no idea why she lost. She has blamed everything from racism to Russia, from the media to sexism, from deplorables to backwards-looking stubborn nostalgia. Now she’s out saying Trump’s presidency is illegitimate and that she would defeat him again. She has not visibly reflected on the effects of her position on guns, her anti-fossil fuel talk, and her open embrace of globalism. She seemingly hasn’t considered the political cost of living within the bubbles in Washington, New York, and Hollywood. Talk to Democrats today who live outside her bubble, those who either volunteered endless hours to help elect her or voted for her, and they will tell you that Clinton has no idea why she lost. Worse, they see their party going down the same road that led to her defeat four years ago, blaming white resentment, as well as Russia, the media, sexism, and deplorables. You don’t have to look any further than any of the sound bites from this past week’s Democratic debate or the recent town halls. Confiscating guns, banning fracking, hiking taxes, providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants, and stamping out religious liberty were the promises Democrats made to compete for primary voters. Here is what most of Trump’s critics do not understand about why this new conservative populist coalition voted for Trump over not just Clinton but also over 17 very qualified, distinguished, mostly establishment Republican candidates in the party’s primary battle. It was never about Trump. It was always about their communities. Trump was the symptom, not the cause. These voters aren’t going to budge. It’s not that everyone who voted for him considers his first term a massive success that has improved the economy in America and made us safer. It’s that Democrats and Never Trump Republicans have done nothing to reflect on why they lost to this guy. They’d rather make fun of the voters (it is easier and makes for great sport on Twitter) than admit their contribution to this flee from normalcy. Successful people, when trying to recover from a setback, ask themselves, “Well, what did I do wrong to get my job or life in this predicament?” Never Trump Republicans and Democrats won’t accept any blame for losing the public. Instead, they blame the public. Yep. As with Brexit, it’s amazing how bourgeois liberalism is unable to admit a political defeat. .

3rdnlng Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Without some catastrophic happening there is not one democrat hopeful that could beat Trump in 2020. The democrat's impeachment farce along with the way they are unfairly proceeding is going to seal their fate. The dems best candidate is a 37 year old gay man with a husband. Regardless of your opinion regarding homosexuality, it was only a dozen years ago that democrats were denouncing gay marriage. There will be one hell of a lot of people who will not vote for a gay person, regardless of politics. No wonder people are asking if there could be anyone else who could run. 2

Here's the good news and call me crazy but I think Hillary is the Dem's best option.

Biden was the only current runner who had a chance told y’all she isn’t done just yet Can she be drafted at the convention? Just pass a rule that frees all delegates from their primary voting obligations.... doesn’t even have to enter a primary....

It would be the first time that a married couple could each have the pleasure of being not only a president but a first lady. They might also have the unique distinction of being the first transgender couple to twice occupy the White House. 1

RoyBatty is alive Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Are there any Biden supporters on this forum? I would sincerely like to ask them what in the hell they see in the guy. He is a liar, corrupt, one man gaffe machine, losing his mind and his dentures, been nothing but a political hack his entire life? I dont get what is the appeal, now again the leading Dem candidate? They can do any better than that? A tired old white guy that is seeming to fall apart? 12 hours ago, row_33 said: this isn’t a South American dictatorship The Bushes and Clinton's beg to differ 2 1
