Talk about how NAFTA and other DLC-inspired faux liberal policies have decimated Hispanic and AA working class communities.

Might be a promising strategy for a Trump-style candidate without the racial rhetoric.

I know you're real big on that narrative, but to call NAFTA "DLC-inspired" is blatantly wrong.  It was a Republican's baby, a Republican'a campaign promise and a GOP Congress' bill; who cares that an ideology-free Democratic President signed it?

Because it gives Republicans like Trump a pass to criticize it.  Obamacare was also a Republican healthcare plan, but that hasn't stopped the GOP from (successfully) turning it into a major talking point that they're still using to turn out their base voters five election cycles later.

Do you really think that politics is more about policy than it is identity and messaging?

Yeah great idea...tell those young minorities about factory jobs they've never seen or know anyone who's worked one. While you're at it...bring up that the Democrats were the party of the KKK *gasp*

Per a 2016 report by the American Manufacturing Alliance, the loss of manufacturing jobs in the United States has been disastrous for the Black community.  The authors talked about it on NPR here.  Makes sense, considering that 10% of African-Americans workforce is in the manufacturing sector compared to only 8.8% of the general population.

Check your figures next time, please.
