On economics I'm afraid that they can win on bernienomics

Their problems are

1. P.C. Culture

2. Identity politics

3. Media. People know they're in the tank, know they lie and it rubs them the wrong way. People don't like being lectured, told what to think and do and they really don't like celebrities with GEDs using their platform they have from movies and music to lecture them on politics

4. Somewhat related to PC culture but people are turned off by labeling opponents as bigots and racist fringe lunatics for beliefs that roughly half of Americans hold

5. Immigration- somehow they've adopted the ANYONE who wants to come can stance and people aren't having it and people who try and sound reasonable while being endorsed by or associated with others with the "everyone can come" stance are not trusted by the public on this issue

SirWinston and others are right in that the lesson from last night is the dems lose because people dislike how they play the game.

6. Continued belief that American voters are REALLY stupid and have thrown morals to the wind.
