If anything, the Dems have become a regional party. And some are proud of that based on their instance that anything in between LA and NYC is not really America.

This election is a fluke and not representative of where the country is headed. Hillary was a bad candidate, mired in scandal, and didn't really excite anybody. Her campaign rhetoric focused on demonizing Trump rather than energizing her base to vote FOR her (rather than against Trump) overstayed its welcome. That is why Hillary lost. 2020 will be a very different picture if Democrats play their cards right.

The theory you put forth in the OP turned out to be nonsense.

You're right, you guys should seriously run someone like Gavin Newsom in 2020.

Trump won because alot of people just didn't vote. Trump's appeal to the bigots did play a role in bringing them out. If anything, it proves that a candidate can be a total charlatan and a bigot, and still win. We're stuck with him until 2020.

If the democrats message to voters is about political correctness issues, it's a non-starter for working people regardless of race. People worry more about their paycheck than the other issues you listed.
or because old and working class whites are confounded by a rapidly changing diversified technologically advancing reality and confront this by voting against their own self interests to line the pockets of the 1%ers b/c the right tells them its someone else's fault..which is fine if you're a 1% but does nothing for you if you're struggling making 40K a year or relying on social security/medicaire......

I'm a 30-ish years old conservative republican.

I would consider myself pro-LGBT in that it's none of my or the governments business. Drug laws need to go. Use the bathroom you want. Abortion should be legal but ideally yes, rare.

I think it's a generational thing....the people my age or younger who are on our team who are coming up now tend to be much less socially conservative and more socially libertarian.

I think this is a good thing and we will be even more competitive going ahead.

They have a seriously sheltered, echo-chamber mentality. They thought that most of the country shared the opinions that they and the other folks at the fair-trade coffee shop and the hipster brewpub have. And reality just slapped them down hard.

Lets see, you call 63,000,000 of your fellow Americans bigots. I'm willing to guess you never met, saw, know or had anything to do with 99.999999% of them. What you demonstrate simply that which you accuse.

Dude, give it up. Next year there will be 16 Democrat governors. Six. Teen. PA, OH, WI, and FL just re-elected Republican senators, and the OH and FL races weren't even close. Democrats are at a seriously low ebb right now. What will it take for you people to just admit that you were wrong?
