I don't see the dems running another white candidate.
I don’t think so. That would be an automatic loss. Way too many racists in this country.

As the face of the Democratic Party, the collateral damage from her remarks will not be easy to ignore for years to come for ANY future Democratic Party presidential nominee.

Wrong. Rust Belt were big part of Reagan Dems, very socially conservative. they came home in 2016, largely pushed by deplorables comment.

Add in, the reality is RNC simply needs any 1 of 3, Pa, Mi, or Wi, plus the Red Wall.

That combo provides 270 with ease.

You guys would be telling us the same thing if Clinton won the EC but lost the popular vote. But we also would have known that the popular vote has no basis in winning an election. So, you do get a participation trophy. Enjoy.
Yep every democrat and every third party voters knew before going in that the electoral college is the basis for winning an election...... democrats showing map after map how Trump couldn't win. Then after Hillary lost they want to jump up and down about the electoral college,

I voted based on who was best for America, not based on who was best for me. This is hard for some folks to understand. I hear it all the time... "Vote for so-and-so, or reelect so-and-so. He brought us the money for that new airport expansion (that we didn't need)"... I don't want a bunch of pork barrel spending - not in your area, and not in mine.
LOL, remember the Obamacare lady who said "keep Obama in president you know, he gave us a phone, he gonna give us more"

LOL, I remember when a liberal on TV was laughing about PA, calling it Lucy's football and it would never go to Trump. Dems thought the these states were in the bag and they got really arrogant about it too. Maybe they should listen to people the next time instead of trying to silence them.
