“Scott Lemieux is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington”

All racis’, all the time he is.

When was the last time the French elected a POC?

8 percent swing in white millenials towards Trump, and an 8 percent swing in blacks towards Trump in the last few weeks, if the sources are accurate. We are many months out still, but if those numbers hold...

You really should be able to win an election when you’ve rigged it.

Then again, when rigging elections, no one questions a close one... But they get awefully curious during blow outs when you have very few supporters

They have forced Trump to sign the Omnibus bill, but still want more.

Trump rose to prominence in Republican politics by popularizing racist conspiracy theories, including the false claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States

And believing this is not going to help the Democrats at all. It is just as much bs as their other fantasies. Trump set up an end to the controversy in order to get it out of the way because it was hurting conservatives. He demanded a birth certificate and declared himself satisfied when the obvious forgery was presented on line. That ended it publicly and got it off the heads of conservatives. He identified the practical problem, which was the legitimacy of Hussein's reign but the damage the argument was doing to America and he fixed it.

YOU ARE STILL CRYING WOLF (About Trump “Racism”)

(which points out that white racism would not win any election in the US today, because there just aren’t enough white racists to win elections.)

In reality, of course, the South was racist before it began switching from Democrat to Republican. And in reality the entire country was racist and anti-Semitic as recently as the FDR era. The Democrat Party switched from being openly racist (can you say, “George Wallace”?) to being patronizing to blacks. The Republican Party was founded on opposition to slavery as an institution (originally only resting its expansion out of the South) and passed the 13th and 14th Amendments. But the reality, again, is that the Republican 13th and 14th Amendments did not obliterate the social consequences of “previous conditions of servitude” instantaneously, and did not aspire to.

The Republican position is that blacks can and will seek their own level as individuals, and time (and only time) will ultimately make “previous conditions of servitude” irrelevant. The Democrat position is twofold:

  1. that the government can and should instantaneously make “previous conditions of servitude”(not to mention sex or just about any characteristic by which people can be sorted into categories) irrelevant. But,

  2. the Democrat Party is to be judged by its stated intentions only without reference to what actually happens when Democrats have political power.

That Hillary Clinton not only could’ve won, had she made modestly different choices and that, by all rights, nearly any other Democrat could’ve beaten Trump.

They are still living in fantasy land if they still believe that! I don't think ANY democrat could have beaten Trump.

1. Trump is lily white.
No one has been subjected to such scrutiny, and they have been able to find NOTHING!

2. Trump is brilliant.
Trump has outsmarted them at every turn.

From the LA Times

“McCain’s mishaps in the cockpit
Three early crashes drew Navy scrutiny. A review of his record reveals a cocky flier, prone to test the limits.”

Hope this last place grad of Annapolis is not planning on flying off the planet. The Navy can’t afford to lose another plane.

The idea that a Democrat should’ve been a shoe-in in 2016 also reflects deep denial among mostly white liberals about the continuing potency of appeals to white supremacy in American politics.

I stopped reading right there. "White supremacy" is a myth perpetuated by the left to disguise their attack on straight white males.

“They still don’t know what happened to them. “

which means it’ll happen to ‘em again because they won’t know how to “fix” it ...

"it should have been a cakewalk — the “most winnable” race ever"

It's darn near impossible for either party to hold the White House for three consecutive terms. It's only bee done once in the last 70 years (Reagan, Reagan, Bush).

A two term president has to be very accomplished, and well liked by the general public, for the voters to desire a 'third terms.

Obama was not accomplished, and was deviled by at least half the population, thus he had no coat tails going into 2016.

Only the most charismatic, dynamic Democrat could have decide gravity to beat the Republican. The Dems obviously chose the worst possible nominee in that scenario.
