        That's exactly the point. Ds *were* party for racists in early 1900s. In the 60s, that changed: Ds became party of civil rights, whites fled

        Racism isn't specific to a particular party. It's an endemic, systemic part of American cultural life. It requires discussion by all!

        Voters lost to #Trump over “cultural” or “identity” issues are lost forever, unless #Democrats want to stop being decent people. Let’s not.

        I agree with your statements. Many in the base are not worth reeling in, they don't care about all Americans or democracy.

        And yet many call themselves patriots. I don't understand what patriotic means if it's not caring about society as a whole.

        The Democrats' biggest strength is cultural - we do not celebrate racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia. Alienation of those who do?

        I'm more than fine with losing those people. It's telling that you WSJ see this as a problem. That's the thinking that resulted in 45*.

        You blame Democrats' core values for potus? I blame the lack of R's decency and honor. He never should have made it out of the primaries.

        contributed hugely to this horror of an administration. You led your readers to believe that 45* was just a little rough around the edges.

        You painted a portrait of a straight talking businessman that could take on the DC elites and work for the "forgotten man."
