183. Not all people who voted for Trump are deplorables

If you are talking about the Trump cult, I agree there is nothing we can do.

However, if we don't get more votes in WI, PA and MI....we lose again.

There are many people out there who weren't Trump fans but voted for him. Some held their noses. Others just wanted to give him a chance. Others usually vote Democratic, voted for Obama, but didn't like Hillary. Some didn't like Trump but thought he would lower their taxes.

We can get some of these voters back by running a strong campaign. By using our time to show why they should vote D this time, that the D Party is the party of the people and the Rs are the party of the rich, we can protect health care, etc etc etc.

This is what we should be doing, loud and strong, showing what we as a party can do different from the gridlock and chaos in Washington today. We don't need to pander to these voters, that is not what I am saying. We simply need to show them what we can do, what we are about, what our vision for the future is.

Grousing about the deplorables and such is self-defeating...and it is also a distraction away from our message. Instead of whining about the past, we need to project a positive message and attract voters with our optimism, our values, and our vision for the future.
