The Dems are moving deep into the fringes. It's basically a coastal party made up of the poor, wealthy, elites and Hollywood. Case in point, the House Democratic leader lives in San Francisco and the Democratic Senate leader lives in Manhattan. A lot of people despise Paul Ryan but he lives in Wisconsin. And McConnell represents Kentucky. See a trend here?
The Dems main message is Climate Change, Black Lives Matter, TransGender Equality and Anti Trump. When they fail to make any measurable gains in 2018, maybe they will realize they need to reset their thinking.
joe biden would likely crush trump. he has a similar appeal to the rust belt folks.
also don't discount bernie sanders running again. he's basically the anti-hillary. everything that trump used against hillary (i.e., the swamp, goldman sachs, trade, the establishment) would fail against him. if anything, he's farther out on those issues than trump is.
trump literally has a ton of goldman sachs people in his inner circle. do you think bernie would hammer him on that?
basically, bernie speaks trump's language when it comes to concerns of working class people, but has the added benefit of not being a clinically retarded person.
i think he's too far left on some issues personally, i'm just saying he would be a really strong candidate against trump.
