I remember each one of these but the last from the primary.
What I do know is that socialism and atheism are neither as deeply unpopular as Hillary Clinton (50% find socialism unfavorable, 55% for Clinton according to the final RCP average). Furthermore, neither of these things is unpopular among young voters (another demographic Clinton simply assumed would flock to her; she got 55%).
The MSM spent months calling Trump a fascist and a racist and accused him of actually raping people rather than writing a fictional story about it 44 years ago, and I'm quite certain all those things are far less favorable than being 'socialist', but none of that stopped him.
In fact, you really have to give Trump credit. He singlehandedly destroyed both major party establishments in just one year.
Quote:When the Trump presidency fails to do that, hopefully they turn on him, and that party.
18 experienced politicians decided that the best way to beat Trump was to wait and hope for his fans to turn on him. Considering how that turned out for all 18 of them, perhaps Dems need to figure out how to make a proactive play for those independents who went his way and make for them an actual, convincing case that we will do a better job, rather than hoping they figure it out on their own. Doing that means we need a credible voice who speaks for Democrats.
