(95,011 posts)Nobody hid Trump's moral failings in the last election (esp. the Clinton campaign). Voters decided they didn't care.
We will win this time IF we focus on the economic and social needs of the voters, especially those disenchanted by their Trump experiment.

(7,888 posts)The media demands new red meat for their corporate masters. Old sex scandals don't trip the trigger of "breaking news". I should not be commenting on some media complicity (Morning Joe) or dumbing down and promoting junk news. It only helps with the "ratings".

(7,706 posts)those comments but that was not the case. The idea the GOP being the party of "family values" was as usual just BS to get those voters that play like they care about such things when in reality they could care less. It's time to face the facts - the evangelical movement in America has deep roots in racism and that has not changed and a candidate like Trump (clearly a racist) is very attractive to them. Sure they want judges, etc. but at the heart of the GOP is white privilege and racism
I seriously doubt that will not change. The Dems have to simply get out the vote - their are far more Democrat voters that Republicans but our voter turnout, especially among minorities, is extremely low. WE HAVE TO GET OUT THE VOTE. That is why our candidate has to have charisma more than anything else.
