the Democratic Party, and that includes all of us failed to convince or drag enough like minded people to the polls. People really operate against their own best interests. One of those ways is failing to appreciate the obligation of citizens to vote in every election. This is not a spectator sport.

I miss the entire Obama family and the people they surrounded themselves with. Real classy

they cheated and got close to the minimal number of strategically placed surprise vote to win the electoral college.

say democrats were able to get a million more people to the polls, or two or three, do you really think the party that took foreign money, that got comey to smear hillary days before the election, that hacked computers, that gleefully used that contraband, and that got 80% of the media airtime, that got the media to make 80% of the remaining time more smears of hillary, that invested a quarter-century into fabricating scandals about hillary -- do you really think they couldn't have just cheated a little more and found just a few more strategically placed votes?

i don't think you're getting how cheaters cheat.

Donald Trump managed to get an emotional connection to more people where it mattered. The fact that they are in part racially charged doesn't matter... He connected.

And the way things are going, he will win 2020.

We have to work to ensure it doesn't happen.
