Question for Democrats concerning strategy
Posted on 2/28/17 at 8:30 pm

Why did the party go all in on fringe groups and minorities at the expense of their northern Midwest working class base. I mean the blacks, gays, illegal immigrants, Moslems, transsexuals, environmental whackos etc. are going to vote dem 99% of the time no matter what. Why would you court these groups when there was zero reason to.

I'm not sure how many DNC strategists will respond but I would also like to know.

Obama was able to appeal to middle America. Hillary was just a terrible politician.

They mistook obama's popularity as approval of his liberal policies, instead of realizing he got elected by being a likable charismatic black guy. (The exact opposite of hillary.)
And then he appointed far left nut jobs to just about every position he could,and that sped up the direction the dems were already heading.

Because they thought they could run up the score. Wanted to make it a blowout. Made assumptions about votes they didn't have.

Labor is typically been a reliable base from a turnout standpoint and the knew this election would come down to a very small percentage of voters, so they had to focus on those that typically don't turn out as well. Basically the same reason Trump didn't steer too far away from right fringe elements. It was a complete miss from a data research perspective.
