This mentality is why the Republicans control the House, Senate, Presidency, Supreme Court and most of the states.

If you're not willing to admit that the Trump base includes white racists, you're probably one yourself. If you think the key to holding power in a demographically changing nation over the long term is white identity politics, you're deluding yourself.

It must be the liberal/progressives that are racist as they keep bringing it up CONSTANTLY.

And Hillary was 100% correct. Just look at the dumpster fire of the last six months. Sad!

Anyone, right or left, who calls voters a negative name has no common sense. You don't alienate the people you hope to turn and vote for you.

"100% correct", super delegates, and a billion dollar war chest does not lose the election! It is "Sad" that some cannot see that!

Hillary may still be their best chance.

Oh GAWD, please don't wish Hillary on us again!

Sanders didn't have a good primary strategy. A large number of his supporters are registered as independents and couldn't vote in the primaries. Also, black voters seem to have trouble connecting with him even though his policies would benefit the middle and lower classes the most.

That is the key. The Dems path to POTUS viability includes, in the must win section, the Rust Belt, heavily wwc, with a smaller % of minority voters than US overall.

The Dems attitude towards winning back this block is deplorable. They found an alternative, and you are not the alternative.

Hillary will forever REGRET when she called the American voters deplorables! And I will be forever grateful that she opened her big mouth and sunk her ship...
