Yeah, only a few on the Left/Dem/Prog spectrum have even come to the conclusion of what a shitty and stupid candidate HIllary was and that the Dems just rammed her down their throats. I'm not sure they will ever really understand how badly they were outwitted by Trumps Open Source Insurgency.
You just contradicted yourself.
Were liberals betrayed by a corrupt-ass Democratic party machine, or did Trump somehow create that situation, or did he just 4D Chess all over the place and do some Jedi shit to win? Which narrative do you guys want to use anymore??
To me, both the Dems were stupid and Trump's team was innovative, agile and brilliant.
3 reasons why the Democrats are stupid.
1. The Dems went in with a pre-determined candidate, platform and outcome established.
2. The Dems had tunnel vision based on what they knew to be true about politics and elections over the last 30 years and their system had no ability or flexibility to adapt and shift as new information came in about the mood of voters. For example, they were locked into Hillary even though all evidence pointed to the American people favored a political outlier. They still have tunnel vision.
3. Hillary is a loser. She was an also ran and Dems knew it, but wouldn't admit it. Whenever given a choice, Dems themselves quickly tossed Hillary aside for someone else be it BHO or Bernie. Hillary is a welfare candidate in that she has always had to be propped up by someone else, first it was BJ Clinton, then it was BHO, then it was by DW Schultz and the DNC. She didn't even have the ability to win her own party without someone putting their thumb on the scale for her.
3 reasons Trump and his team are smarter
1. Trump was smart enough to see the lay of the land and the mood of the country that 2016 was maybe the only time in history when Trump would be a viable option. And he grabbed that opportunity and capitalized on it. I can't under sell this. This is the first time in our 200+ years of electing presidents that we have elected a person with ZERO government experience.
2. Trump had to outmaneuver 16 GOP candidates, Bernie and HIllary. This took crafting a message and framing and image of each of those candidates. Trump took them one by one, check out the GOP polling and look at the messaging and what happened to opposing candidates once Trump turned his attention to Low Energy Bush, Little Boots Rubio and Lyin Ted Cruz.
3. Once Trumps team had won the GOP, they had to deal with the general election. Expert opinion was that the Big Blue Wall was inpenetrable. But Trump's Open Source Insurgency used new tactics, techniques and procedures to punch holes in the Big Blue Wall that was the Rust Belt. AND, they did it with fewer people and less money.
Throughout the entire process the Dems had no idea what was going on in the country, showed little to no concern about what the American people wanted and stayed with their tunnel vision. They did not have the intelligence or resourcefulness to even realize that Trump was a threat until 2100 hrs election night when the race was over. They are so locked into this thought that they still don't understand. They are trying to reason this out, they are so rigid in their orthodoxy that they can't realize they have been outsmarted and outworked(Trump just outworks everyone) by a small team. In their delusion they have come to the conclusion that Hillary must have been cheated, it was the Russians.
