Every comment made by every Democrat named in this article — Ryan, Smith, Vilsack, Sanders — EVERY comment essentially amounts to “we need to do a better job of lying.”

Former President Bill Clinton himself seemed to be aware that his wife's campaign was vulnerable, and made a concerted effort to win areas of the Rust Belt that went to Trump. Stories that came out after the results were known indicated that Clinton's advice went unheeded

Uh huh. Calling people in West Virginia and Kentucky "Coal People" was his Romney-esque "47%" moment.

The leftist fascists and their main stream media do not recognize or acknowledge facts/truth. They only recognize and acknowledge their party’s political correctness.

I loathe them.

Identity politics is a deadly ploy of division using hatred until everyone hates everyone.

That is extraordinarily insightful. Another exhibition of Democrat stupidity....failure to factor in the fallout of their strategies. They're fanatical about winning no matter who loses.

===================================

The smell of desperation to elect Hillary was everywhere. So all the loyal little Democrats marched in sync w/ the big democrat in the wh.

Obama paraded in millions of illegals to vote en masse and he spread around huge amts of govt money to fix the vote for Hillary. <><> Obama and Congressional Democrats----w/ then-AG Eric Holder----gave NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN), and blood-thirsty La Raza a huge funding source...our tax dollars. <><> Obama/Holder/Dems extorted banks via DOJ litigation/bank settlements----these nefarious "diverse" liberal organizations got all the loot.

=====================================================

BACKSTORY Obama and Congressional Democrats----with a huge assist from then-AG Eric Holder----gaven NeighborWorks America (formerly ACORN) and La Raza a huge funding source of tax dollars (to achieve Obama's dream of a permanent Democrat majority).

<><> Obama/Holder/Dems extorted banks via DOJ litigation/bank settlements----into paying off these nefarious organizations.

DOJ went after CitiCorp and ordered them to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.

=====================================

Trump should begin the detection/prevention/defunding of massive Democrat voter fraud orchestrated by minority groups.

“my opinion, but I believe Trumps owes his win to the rust belt, blue collar displaced union workers that voted their own interests instead of the union stewards interests. “

I think so. This is how he won states that Obama won.

But, there were whites who switched from Romney to Hillary or no vote.

I read that it ended up that Trump and Romney got the same percentage of the white vote.

So what put Trump over the top was black and Hispanic votes.

Trump got marginally more of these votes, about 2-3% more than Romney.

But the big factor was. Hillary got 6-8% less than Obama and that helped do her in.

Don’t quote me on these specific numbers because I am relating something I read a bit ago.

I can’t say for sure that this is conformed, but I think this is the case. It will be interesting to see when authoritative numbers come out.

Well what else do they have, aside from open socialism?

Yep, the average person is tired of having their culture, history, and beliefs crapped on incessantly, by emotionally unstable morons.

It was definitely multi-faceted. Entering the season, one thing I hoped Trump would do is re-align the electorate. It doesn’t serve the interest of the people when large blocks vote against their own interests. Unions workers voting for Dems, Blacks voting for Dems, etc.

To a large extent, I think Trump did that.

I gauged the success of the Trump campaign by the amount of shrill in my mother’s weekly phone calls.

Now she’s refusing to come to my house for Thanksgiving.

Progressives have long known that the white voters, particularly those without the benefit of a college education, are a sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, cis-gendered, white-privileged, racist basket of deplorables. Until recently, progressive leaders have kept this opinion pretty much to themselves, but in 2016 they found the courage to say it loud and proud, not just at private fundraisers among friendly billionaires but in the mainstream media. Unfortunately, whites without a college education are too stupid and uneducated to understand this message unless it is repeated over and over. Progressives need to repeat the message more loudly and disruptively than ever before so that white people will finally get the message that they are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc, etc.

And the GOP was playing much the same game of pandering to groups. They took their base for granted and pandered to Hispanics and other groups and that only cost them support. Then Trump came along and didn’t play that game and gave the GOP one of its biggest overall victories in history.

The Bushes and Rove did the party huge damage with their attempts at identity politics, taking the base for granted and pandering to groups. Hopefully that gang will have no more influence in the future.

And the beauty is that they can’t fix it. Once you brainwash your supporters they can’t be unbrainwashed.

It's actually very sad, not 'beautiful'. Remember ... "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" ... and the left has wasted an entire generation of minds.

Sad.
