Top Democrats blame themselves for Trump win
The New York Post ^ | July 23, 2017 | Mark Moore and Gina Daidone

Democrats said they will counter President Trump’s “The Art of the Deal” with “A Better Deal.”

Party leaders will unveil a new economic battle plan on Monday that will highlight job-training programs, renegotiating trade deals and a $15 an hour “living wage” as they try to focus their message to voters, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday said his party can’t blame anyone else for their devastating defeat to Trump in November.

“When you lose to somebody who is only at 40 percent popularity, you look in the mirror and say, ‘What did we do wrong?’,” Schumer (D-NY) said. “And I think the number one thing we did wrong was [voters] didn’t know what we stood for. They knew we didn’t like Trump, but they didn’t know what we stood for.”

The Democrats will announce their new slogan – “A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future” – and their upgraded platform of economic proposals drafted during strategy sessions over the past few months on Monday afternoon.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) echoed Schumer’s comments and said the gambit is “is not a course correction, but it’s a presentation correction,” the Washington Post reported.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries​ said Democrats have to shout their message from the rooftops.....

Seeing as how their message stinks (well that is a given), I wonder how long it will be before they admit that Hillary was a lousy candidate?

Amazing to watch the golden opportunity the idiot GOP has slip away.

The Dems need to be painted as the extremist lunatics they are 24/7.

Of course it’s their fault. They had their formula. Have their media flying monkeys support some elitist RINO through the primary and then jump him for being an elitist RINO during the general election. I worked in ‘08 and ‘12. Jeb thought it would work that way this year. But for some reason, I guess they thought it would be funny or something, they had their flying monkeys freeze out everyone but Trump and anoint him to be the candidate whether anyone liked it or not. Then they blatantly screwed their cute old commie in favor of their ridiculous, unlikable, elitist, globalist, felon. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling voters!

I think that the jackass party has internal polling telling them, loud and clear, that the Russian collusion cr@p is just that, cr@p. It looks like they are abandoning that. (I hope I am wrong)

They’re clueless. Always have been, always will be.

Blame God. He’s taking a hand in America’s future and He got Trump in there.

The DNC is fighting God. I think they’ll lose. I think America will win.

Unless there is a miracle the republicans won't be able to call the democrats the "do nothing party" next year.
