I'm thinking because Dem's treat them as adults and thought they could use reason to understand the issues they face in an ever more connected world, whereas GOP lie to them and tell them everything's gonna go back to the way it was as long as they give tax cuts to billionaires and keep the gays from getting married.

I guess somehow this makes Dems elitist....wanting to help blue collar workers prepare for the new reality rather than scam them with wedge issues to push tax and regulatory cuts.

LMAO! I guess Hilary told people what they didn't want to hear. I'll have to admit, that pretty much clinched it for me.

I think Hilary should have learned telling people what they want to hear is politics 101 but I gather she went for a new tactic. There's always next time.
