According to one Democratic strategist, if a candidate adopts a socially liberal plus fiscally conservative policy platform, then he or she can win 400 EVs. So far, Trump has adopted neither of these.
Such a Democratic Party would have absolutely no appeal for me. Or for the many working folks who once depended on the Democratic Party to be THEIR voice.
*puts on liberal voice*: Then good riddance you White trash, redneck, country bumpkin. We don’t want your deplorable, uneducated, unsophisticated, sorry ass in our party anyway. We’ll expand the map by taking all the suburbs from the Republicans while they can take the rotting wastelands of the “heartland.” The future of the party lies with college educated Whites and minority voters because their interests are completely aligned and there’s no conflict between them. They’re both united in opposition to your bigotry. Maybe you people can go overdose on some more heroin like the rest of your worthless families whose lives are so pathetic they’d rather kill themselves than admit what poor failures they are. We’re just trying to help America, but if you want to stay in your decaying country towns, stay poor, and vote against your own interests that’s your problem. You should just get a college education and move to a city like a smart person would. You’ll die off soon enough anyway and become politically irrelevant, then we don’t even have to acknowledge your existence anymore. HAHAHA
