(25,380 posts)it was that the Democratic Party lost because they are a party of liberal elites who spend their time raising money from the wealthy and powerful instead of talking to working people.
The problem here is that it isn't true. Facts are facts. In the last election, people with the least amount of money voted for the Democrat. People with the most money voted for Trump.
Many people think that calling Democrats names and accusing them of not doing their jobs only helps Trump or encourages "both sides are the same, why vote?" Why is that so difficult to understand? All he has to do is leave out the insults to Democrats and attack Trump. It's simple.
The constant insults would make sense if he's running for president as a third party candidate, however, setting himself up as the only one who can beat Trump. After Jane Sanders' comment about third parties the other day, this makes people very nervous. Republicans will not vote for someone they think will raise their taxes. They were convinced Obama raised their taxes and slapped draconian regulations on small business when he did no such thing. They are not reasonable. This is not a good plan to beat the Republicans.
