Just how stupid are the Democrats? Still counting . . . .
'Every leading contender to take over the Democratic National Committee believes Hillary Clinton focused too much on attacking Donald Trump at the expense of articulating an affirmative case for holding the White House. During their final showdown before the chairman’s election in Atlanta on Feb. 25, there was consensus that the party’s problems derive mainly from subpar organization and communication — not anything fundamental.
“We forgot to talk to people,” said Tom Perez, who was secretary of labor until last month and a finalist to be Clinton’s running mate last summer. “I’m a big believer in data analytics, but data analytics cannot supplant good old fashioned door knocking. … We didn’t communicate our values to people. When Donald Trump says, ‘I’m going to bring the coal jobs back,’ we know that’s a lie. But people understand that he feels their pain. And our response was: ‘Vote for us because he’s crazy.’ I’ll stipulate to that, but that’s not a message.”'
The Daily 202: DNC chair candidates say Clinton lost because she talked too much about Trump
So Perez shows he has half a functioning brain, but only half. He is quite correct that Clinton lost the election because she spent too much time talking about Trump instead of articulating an affirmative message that addressed voters needs and problems, but then he says, using the coal miners as an example, we really had nothing to offer them other than "I feel your pain," thus displaying the empty space in his head where the other half of his brain should be. The coal miners didn't vote for Trump because they believed he felt their pain but because they believed he would try to get their jobs back for them, Tom. Nobody cares what your values are, Tom, if you don't have an agenda that will address their needs.
