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.

I think it's super baffling that Republicans think they can be as utterly repellent as they are being, right out in the open, and it won't have consequences!

Your default seems to be that Republicans win unless perfect Democrats come to challenge them. I do not subscribe to that default. I think Republicans are repellent and going out of their way to repel moderates, white suburban women, black voters, and anyone else beyond the Trumpiest of Trumpzis.

Do I feel confident that Trump will lose? F*ck no! 2016 blindsided me and I feel like I've still got PTSD. Do I feel more confident every time I see Trump being a disgraceful fool, and his Republican buddies falling in line? Yes, I sure do.

Poor little snowflake-

LOL! The snowflakes are the MAGA trash yelling "send her back" because they can't abide strong Democratic women.

You're confused. Just because someone doesn't agree with another woman's ideas doesn't mean that person doesn't like and admire strong women.

Nice try at gaslighting. Yeah, person who admires women is the type to chant send her back. Insecure wimps.

You don't know the meaning of gaslighting. But, it's trendy to say.... so.....

I agree with pp. Lots of strong women out there. Not all of them are Democrats, by the way.

As long as they're lily-white you approve, I'm sure.

There you go again. Always pulling that race card. It's old and tired.

You seem to like it plenty when Trump does it.

Hey, honey bunch - you're the one that injected race into the discussion. Neither I nor Trump did that.

Lying just like Dear Leader? Why is that a surprise?

Prove me wrong, friend. Where is the lie?

He's not winning anyone new with this dangerous, disgusting schtick.

+1.

USA Today poll:

68% believe Trump’s tweets were offensive
59% believe Trump’s tweets are “un-American”
65% believe what Trump said is racist, including a plurality of Republicans (45-34%)

The problem is that you're thinking that this stuff ^^ is what all Americans will have at the top on their minds when they vote. You have every single Democratic candidate saying they will give free health care to illegal immigrants, while Americans are either paying for private insurance or have no insurance themselves. Then they all say they want to strip the private insurance that many people are happy with and give us government insurance. If you think this sits well with people, think again. Yes, Trump is seen as vile by many Americans. And Dems keep saying "the party isn't the Squad!" But every presidential candidate is as far left as the Squad, or close to it. That's the Dems problem.

In fact none of them said free healthcare for illegal immigrants

Decent housing, food and healthcare, education for illegal immigrants at the border--that's most of the news on NPR most of the day.

DACA is the only issue Pelosi thought it worthwhile to filibuster.


If you point out that illegal means illegal, you're immediately called a racist--ironically, the WaPo had an article today about how a majority of MEXICANS think that Central American migrants should be deported to their home country.


So yeah, we're gonna lose. The debates were just horrific.


--legal immigrant

Agree 100%. Would also add reparations talk is a deal killer. Signed, another legal immigrant
