agree, yes----if one wants to win elections.....If one wants to win elections, one must address the voter’s perceptions, views, wants, wishes, feelings, etc. Being anti-Trump is a negative. Especially for voters looking for a positive or a reason to vote for the democratic candidates other than just being anti-Trump. One can continue to believe the voters are dumb, that won’t get you or the democrats back in power or to get rid of Trump. At least at the ballot box.
good pointsThe history of the last 3 elections shows being anti-Trump gets you about 45% of the vote just like being pro-Trump gets the GOP roughly 45% of the vote. Then it becomes a question is how to get most of the remaining 10% to vote for your candidate and party. They’re not interested in either the pro nor the anti-Trump rhetoric, they want to know how you or the GOP plans on addressing the problems, issues that are dear to them. Party doesn’t matter to them, but probable solutions do. The Democrats are leaderless, rudderless today while being 100% anti-Trump. If the midterms were held today, the GOP would probably gain 2-5 seats in the house and a senate seat or two.
The Dems need to find a great candidate............
