rest:
Democratic strategists have figured out that Hillary lost the 2016 election because her base simply didn’t turn out. This is only part of the case but not the underlying reason Clinton lost. Few could foresee the flipping of a few significant Midwestern states that tilted the election in the Republicans’ favor due to many looking for something different in DC for once.
Sorry, Democrats, you simply nominated the wrong candidate. Bernie Sanders would have been a much more formidable opponent to Trump. But he was denied the opportunity by the ruling Democratic Party elite. In the process, we found out that the Democratic Party is not only colluding with the mainstream media, but is also a rigged organization that favors candidates such as Clinton over outsiders like Sanders.
The facts are clear to see.
As The Washington Post’s most recent poll shows, two-thirds of Americans view the Democrats as out of touch. This number includes nearly half of Democrats themselves! You didn’t hear that much in your major media outlets did you?
Instead, the media paints Trump as a maniac and the Republican Party as the ones who are out of touch. Yet, the truth remains that the Democratic Party, in their bubbles on the coasts, clustered in major cities but not the large swaths in between, are the ones who are out of touch. That is why the Republicans currently own the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. For now.
Hillary Clinton simply took for granted the middle class votes in blue collar states such as Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. She assumed she had it in the bag. She surrounded herself with so much misinformation that she and the rest of the country believed that she would be the next president.
And yet, as very fake news CNN reported, former Vice President Joe Biden suggested that the former secretary of state failed to talk to middle-class voters. Speak, Joe! Tell ‘em.
Instead of reaching out to the voters she needed to throughout the Rust Belt, Hillary Clinton called half the nation “deplorable” and beyond help, ignoring the very real needs of this overlooked segment of society, ensuring her fate last November. Instead of giving Americans a reason to vote for her, she focused on why Donald Trump should not be president.
What reason did you have to vote for Clinton last fall?
She ran a good campaign for beating Jeb Bush, who bad zero crossover appeal and would have gotten the base to say “I guess I’ll vote for him if I don’t have anything else to do that day”. When thousands started showing up for Trump rallies vs dozens for her, she should have seen the writing on the wall and reacted.
