Hillary's lies were what got Trump elected.

Trump wouldn't' have stood a chance against any other Democratic nominee.

One of the reasons why the deflection: "you need to ask yourself how you can rebuild the democratic party" is so obvious and so flipping stupid is that for the Dems to have the same success as Trump had (without Russian aid) is they would have to dumb down the heck out of their message and lie 10 times more. Maybe then they'd attract the Trump voter. Seriously - being honest is a flaw in this country. People are too stupid or too petty to recognize when they've been lied to, or care if they do.

Ah, I think they need to address the white working class. The democratic agenda does not include us. We are just scape goats to them. Every time they open their mouths about the down trodden it's always about minorities. Sure OK, but what about the rest of us?

But it also gave me a glimpse into how our new national look
is playing in the global information war, where competing
narratives are clashing along a sliding scale of fact and fiction.

Trumps voters sure are dimwitted. They must have the same sources as Jack.
