    I interviewed an independent business owner who is often annoyed at Trump but still sticking to him. "Daddy can be so gauche," says Ivanka Trump. "But the Democrats are worse." Persuadable voters like her are the tough battleground that the Dems are losing.

        honestly, i'm getting kind of tired of the focus on the """independent""" voters. dems should be focused on base turnout, getting them involved more than just every 4 years for president rather than take a gamble on someone who is wishy washy

        Did you ask the independent business owner HOW the Democrats are worse? Because if it's things like "The country is infested with illegals" or "I shouldn't have to serve an LGBT person," then that person is beyond help. Just don't stop with the first question, please!!

        I think maybe you need to read the tweet again.

        Is it really worth going after them anymore? Or is it better to try and get progressive non-voters off their asses?

        It's hard to know what could persuade them if the clown circus we've been witnessing hasn't. Suggestions?

        How much money and effort was lost by Clinton trying to persuade people that would never vote for her anyway
