Pelosi’s pitch was straightforward: our economy is rigged against America’s workers and only Democrats can fix it.
One small problem: America has heard this before. On countless commercials. In numerous debates. For months on end.
As highlighted by even supportive media outlets, A Better Deal is largely a rehash of solutions offered by Hillary Clinton during her failed presidential campaign. That doesn’t mean A Better Deal is without merit, as Fox’s Chris Wallace noted. But clearly something was missing when Clinton made these same losing arguments.
The American people were looking for something more. Something different.
And that underlines why Pelosi’s performance was another train wreck for Democrats. D.C. Democrats still don’t understand – or won’t accept – why they keep losing.
President Trump reached the White House with a simple promise: Make America Great Again. He saw a broken immigration system, gutted manufacturing base, and a set of toothless foreign policies that all originated from feckless and corrupt D.C. elites.
To right the ship, Trump vowed to drain the swamp of America’s political losers and push through an agenda that would leave the country literally tired of winning.
Said differently, Trump focused on the brokenness of Washington D.C.
It was a smart strategy.
For years, Congress’ approval rating has been dismal. America has grown tired of the constant political warfare between dueling politicians that has resulted in little progress.
Poll after poll also shows that voters are disgusted by a political system that all too often leads to career politicians who drink off the corrupting spigot of campaign cash from corporate interests.
Bottom line: America wanted better leadership and an effective government in 2016. Fair or not, Trump became the credible voice to accomplish those goals.....

Gee. I thought Trump’s collusion with Russians, not a better message, delivered him the Presidency.
You mean lyiing, fraud, and
corruption won’t do it? Then they don’ t need to win anything!y
Hating on Trump, hating on Russia, and a litmus test demanding the most radical of stances on abortion - together these things do not a political party make. And yet here we are.
It’s time that Democrats give voters what they deserve.The people deserve a government which is patriotic. That is, one which is in love with society - the American people - rather than being in love with their own ego.Democrats arrive in D.C. cynical about the American people - all primed to “fight for you,” but “you” they refer to does not include the middle class, and includes the poor only in a notional sense because the nostrums Democrats advocate for low-income people can very easily function as a trap. This is a statement about human nature, not about race.
