Now all the Dems need to do is to stop hand-wringing over procedure and actually condemn the war itself. Because at the rate things are going, these types will only be alienated from the Republicans until the next smooth-talker comes along who knows how to talk out of both sides of his mouth about it.
"How could anyone think Trump would be a peace president?" Because the Dems were unambiguously pro-war so people looking for someone who'd stay out of conflicts cope'd themselves into believing it.
Dems would rather keep donors’ support and lose the election than vice-versa.
For the politically naive: Republicans regard workers as their personal toilet at best. Democrats at least recognize that workers are where their lunches come from.
Assuming facts not in evidence.
