Can Democrats Make Nice with the ‘Deplorables’?
"Yo yo, man, hey! I'm sorry I called you a Deplorable, OK? I wanna try to make nice now! Yo, can we shake hands?"

Since early June, when voters in Georgia’s sixth congressional district rubbed yet more salt in their 2016 election wounds, Democratic pols and sages have been pondering why, as Ohio congressman Tim Ryan put it, “our brand is worse than Trump.” That’s a low bar, given the president’s nearly subterranean approval ratings, but so far the blue party has mostly been turning to an inside-the-box set of policy and political memes: jobs programs, talk of a mutiny against House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, and better marketing — or, in Ryan’s words, “branding” — of the Democratic message.
What’s missing from this list is the most important — and most challenging — item of all: solving the liberal “deplorable” problem. The white working class that hoisted Donald Trump to an unexpected victory may not always admire the man, but they know that he doesn’t hate “people like me,” in the pollsters’ common formulation. And they have good reason to think that Democrats, particularly coastal and media types, do hate them: Consider Frank Rich’s snide and oft-cited article, “No Sympathy for the Hillbilly.” It’s possible that white working-class voters would back a party filled with people who see them as racists and misogynists, with bad values and worse taste, because they all want to raise taxes on Goldman Sachs executives, but it seems a risky bet.

Or maybe the approval polls are wrong?
Any attempt by the Dems to”make nice” will be immediately seen for what it is.A blatent lie by a pack of liars.Piss on all of them.
Those would be the same polls that said he had no chance even of getting the nomination.
No.
Any party that ...
* openly boos God at their convention,
* promotes the murder of gestate infants as a valid “choice”,
* tries to normalize neuroses and pyschoses, like homosexuality and gender dysphoria, and shove it down our throats,
* seeks to disarm Americans and render them vulnerable to criminals and tyrants,
* wants to prosecute people for telling the truth about the bloody savage Mohammed,
* divides the country by grievance groups, constructing a byzantine hierarchy of same,
* forces compliance with politically correct speech codes,
... is NOT a party I would want to have ANYTHING to do with.
Look at the minority turnout for Obama vs. Hillary and especially in the states that flipped for Trump. The dems would be nuts to run anyone but a minority candidate for 2020.

“Our brand is worse than Trump.”
Their brand is finally being seen for the perfidious, psychotic, adolescent and valueless movement that it is, backed by a mainstream media with the same glaring pathology.
IMHO

Your URL has problems.
Here’s one that works:
The Dems have always been the party of aristocracy, despite their pandering to the underclass. They have no respect at all for the working class.
Democrats are equal to ISIS. They are the enemy of all decent people

Democrats won’t be allowed to get along. Democrats are to be treated with wrath and scorn. They are not really fit to breathe American Air.
The comments that enrage me most are the ones by *top* Rats.Yes,some pig like Joy Bahar might call us "tea baggers" but it's "you didn't build that" by Princess Liawatha,"red neck" by Billy Bob Blythe (late in last year's campaign) and "Klan member" by Osama Obama (also late in last year's campaign) that *prove* what today's Rat Party,the Party of Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers,is all about.
