[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. To the above. The Dems are running like the winner is going to be chosen by popular vote. It’s baffling to me.[/quote]

The Republicans are running like you're going to anoint the winner at a KKK rally. It's baffling to me.

It shouldn’t be. There are a lot of (1) racists and (2) people who are extremely opposed to illegal immigration and (3) people who will accept anything from Trump as long as he’s for tax cutting and nominates conservative judges. And these people aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, so it’s not a bad strategy (obviously, as Trump won the presidency).

But the Democrats’ strategy truly is baffling. Most of them are advocating for positions far to the left of where most of the country, and the Obama administration is/was. When the states they have to win are (as always) swing states that are not bastions of coastal liberalism. Issues like racial justice, healthcare and other protections for undocumented immigrants, taking away private health insurance, etc. are not going to be winners there. They just aren’t. The 2020 candidates need to recognize this and change their messaging accordingly, but most of them aren’t grasping this. It’s truly baffling.[/quote]
