Dems are going to keep this up for a long time. Their voters want nothing else, and that is why they will continue to lose.Why Democrats keep losing elections
Most voters reject the liberal notion that the American character is fundamentally flawed.
Mr. Trump was selling a post-globalization edition of the Reagan/Bush opportunity economy and a tougher line on crime and terrorism. To the extent Americans are unfairly disadvantaged or threatened by trade and immigration, he promised to fix those. And to use big tax cuts and deregulation to attract investment, create more jobs and boost after-tax pay.
Mrs. Clinton saw unfairness too but blamed American society — the burdens imposed by accidents of birth and enduring racism, sexism and other prejudices.

Democrats again fall short in a closely-watched election
Democrats again fell just short in a closely-watched election as Heath Mello lost the Omaha mayoral race on Tuesday after a fierce debate within the national party over his anti-abortion views.
His loss was a setback for supporters who argued that the Democratic National Committee and abortion rights groups were wrong to attack the anti-abortion former state senator.
It was also another near miss for Democrats fighting in typically Republican territory since Donald Trump's presidential election victory. Democrats lost a special election for a House seat in Kansas and narrowly missed an outright win in a special election in Georgia.
Mello, a 37-year-old Catholic from Omaha's working-class south side, had become a flashpoint for the internal Democratic battle over whether a candidate's position on reproductive rights should disqualify him from support by the national party after its crushing losses around the country last year.
