    One thing liberals need to understand. This is not, mostly, about turnout. It's about a preference for message of Trump.

        What exactly is his message, beyond his memes?

        On top of the racism (which is dominant) there's also protectionism.

        Preference about a message of 'the democrats (and republicans) suck, blow it all up', IMO. No one has considered next steps

        Sorry. The ads were significantly different in MI, at least. Trump's were message. Hillary's were anti-Trump.

        Fair, I'm mostly going by favorability #s and exit polling. Lot of voting against the other guy/gal -- and Trump isn't liked

        I guess we do need more bigotry, racial hatred, women hating, lying, groping,more KKK, more alt-right...etc.

        Sorry, that is not what I said. Ads in MI in last week for Trump were "I'll fix things." FOr Hillary were "Trump is a dick."

        That was his message for the last 2 years. He will fix things when he gets the urge to use nukes.

        part of this win by message and old school earned media reflects a failure of dems to understand that institutions are failing

        Message for liberals? Or for establishment Dems? Libs were looking for a different message & lost that battle

        >Right. Trump may be giving BS answers to real problems, but that’s better than croaking “I’m not the other guy.”
