    "Cling to their guns & religion"

    "Basket of deplorables"

    Elitism had as much to do with this as racism & sexism, whether people like it or not. That's a fact, Jack 

    Keep it up, and it will keep happening

    So are you saying that these people need to be finessed a bit and they will come to their senses and change their votes?

    This definitely seems to be what you are implying over and over. I disagree.

    I think that these simple bastards you speak of are 100% fixed in their value system and if there is any good in them, they are so conflicted it wouldn't matter if their candidate is compromised by their country's biggest historical opponent, has a history of cheating people, chronically lies, bangs prostitutes, grabs p**sies, mocked disabled people, insulted veterans, is a fat tub of shit, has a mushroom d*ck, and cannot even go poo without buggering that simple task up (among a wide range of other things). 

    I think that- given they endorse such a man no matter what- it doesn't matter how you treat them. So... may as well call a spade a spade. There's no need to 'respect' idiocy or immorality.

    This is an interesting topic for me.  I tend to agree with My2Hands.  Because it's not about trying to change the minds of people that won't change. It's about the visual seen by the independents and others.  Now - the reality is that Trump and his supporters have done far worse so it probably shouldn't matter.  But my opinion is don't give them any ammo.

    That’s a different issue, though. The independents and undecided voters likely need to be reached differently than the dyed in the wool republicans, and I think that’s what we’ve been referring to.

    It would make for a very interesting election and at least give us a much clearer picture of where people stand in this country. Maybe Trump will motivate that type of turnout in 2020. If we can't reach a 3/4 population turnout for the upcoming presidential election then we never will. I guess I'll never understand those who choose not to vote. No candidate is perfect, but there has got to be someone who at least represents a majority of your ideals or someone who completely does not and is not who you want to win. Maybe I'm being naive because so much of the country has resigned to the fact that no matter what, nothing changes for them personally no matter who is president so they just don't care anymore.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Are you referring to Voter turnout?

    If so, check out the wiki for 2016 elections for fla, pa and oh

    Turnout was at or above 70% and democrats lost all of those states by plenty of votes.

    Dems focusing on turnout first is usually a catastrophic disaster. Dems win when they have a winning message communicated effectively.

    When they do that, turnout will take care of  itself

    Hence the focus on the “issues,” particularly local issues, district/state. Healthcare, education, wages, environment, gender equality. No “basket of deplorable” or “clinging to their guns and religion,” rhetoric. And very little talk of impeachment of Team Trump Treason as most voters want the “evidence” first. Me? On that issue, like Team Trump Treason, I’m going with my gut. But with the constant lies, assists from putin on the ritz and disenfranchisement of voters, anything is possible.

    Trump would not be president if more people had shown up at the polls.  Too many Clinton votes were lost by too many people assuming she had it in the bag.

    Or Hillary was an awful candidate and had no enthusiasm behind her as a candidate? I actually believe if Hillary were a male candidate she would have lost the popular vote as well, she was awful

    That's a real question.

    My assumption is you voted for Obama despite him being a lock to take CA both times. And then didnt vote for Hillary. 

    Democrats only need to look at their awful robot elit7st candidate to realize why Trump lost. But I guess its easier to label 60 million morons and racists than own the loss. 

    Dont blame me, I voted for Bernie in the primary.

    I disagree. I know some trump voters, they are not scum. I definitely disagree with them politically, but that doesnt make them scum.

    Why would you paint them all with such a broad brush? Were people that voted for W in 2004 scum? Are people who supported Bill Clinton scum? A married man with a daughter getting blown by a young intern in the oval office is about as scumbag as it gets in my opinion

    Fine. I disagree. Anyone who would vote for that piece of shit, after ALL the terrible things they knew about him, have no real moral compass at all. I think there is NO excuse for it. And no, nobody has ever been on the ballot like Trump, so it's never happened before. I sure as hell don't think they're scum for voting for Trump because he's a cheater, lol.

    W in 2004 was much worse in my opinion, do I really need to remind people? Bunch of fucking psychos in that admin that lit the world on fire, and demonized gays daily... 

    Trump is childs play
