Any Obama voters who voted for Trump probably did so in their belief that Trump would f*^@&$ up America even worse than Hitlery could.
Did they not notice they lost 1000+ seats in 8 years?
So now its that their "message" did not get through? (as usual) Even though they own all the media and all the networks, their message did not get through.
Social issues matter even if President Trump isn’t brave enough to talk about them.
Did democrats abandon their party to vote for Trump?
Or did the DNC believe it’s own propaganda polls so completely they just failed to cheat as hard as usual?
The article says the Democrats failed to get their economics policies across to the voters. I disagree. I think the non-grevance voters understood their economic policies just fine. That’s they voted for Trump.
Incidentally, implicit in the above is that the people who are Trump voting Democrats are too stupid to understand what’s good for them.
Hill wouldn’t listen to Bill. It’s the economy, Stupid.
Because the black voters did NOT come out for Hillary. That’s it - plain and simple. It was the only reason Obama won his second term and why the GOP shellacked the DNC in the house and senate on off years (because Obama wasn’t running)
The DNCs ideology has not been the reason for winning any races or gaining voters - it’s all been racism and bigotry in their candidates. Vote for the black guy because he’s your color. Vote for the woman because she deserves it. Otherwise DNC policy has been nonexistent and while clandestinely communist and insurrectionist. That’s not a winning strategy no matter who is pushing it.
There’s your analysis in plain and simple terms and all this hand wringing is the DNC trying to figure out what lip service to America they need to adopt to split off enough votes to start winning again.
I got it, Greg. Lie to them better and offer more free stuff.
Greg Sargent typically understands precisely nothing about anything of importance.
So it wouldn't be smart to put much stock in his reporting, whether it's on this subject or on any subject whatsoever.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
