You make the mistake of imagining politics of old.
None of that crap means anything when Independents are now the overwhelming plurality, AND GROWING. Dems and GOP are small fringe parties.
Trump will have his RNC take a hatchet to all the consultant contracts of the GOP Swamp, and very possibly the magnitude of the loss will force the same on the DNC.
There are no policies. There is only Swamp Filth and $36T in debt.
It's been said before that Democrats treat their voters (and Republicans) like abused spouses who think that's what affection looks like. Another analogy is that their voters have become victims of the Stockholm Syndrome who begin sympathizing with their captors.
It doesn't hurt to try to wake them up by confronting them with the stark facts now and then, especially the "independents" who are either too weak or too unmotivated or to uninformed to pick a side.
We'll see how the polling of independents changes in the next few weeks. It's already starting to move.
