    This is actually disturbing. It’s just not true. 17 Republicans thought this. Most Democrats thought it. Underestimating Trump is perilous and is the first sign someone is severely out of touch and likely very egotistical.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1074715445314445312 …

        do you really find this "disturbing"? he's not severely out of touch. give the guy a break. I assume you want another candidate (BERN?) but there is a lot of love for Biden, even if he doesn't fit what you want. he and others can absolutely beat the weakened trump of 2020.

        Underestimating Trump was a huge, common mistake last time. However, Trump won't be around (politically) to contest 2020

        I totally agree speaking for myself I would have bet the house I was so sure he would not win . I would be homeless now. We will take nothing for granted from now on. We will tread carefully and analyze and pick a candidate that will attract Independents as well.

        I’d never bank on “independents”. The outreach needs to occur with those in the margins, minorities whose issues are never made a priorities in candidates’ platforms. And the candidates need to truly believe in and reflect those priorities and values.

        Wrong, its the first sign that someone is not freaked out or panicked and knows the fundamentals and turnout are very much in favor if any D right now.

        Trump cheated with Russia’s help. You seem to think he won with cunning or some hidden talent. It wasn’t a failure of imagination on the part of other candidates; he cheated.

        I agree but from my experience of four decades covering politics a candidate should never make a statement like that. Especially not in this environment

        The Democratic candidate beat Trump in the popular vote by over three million votes, and Trump didn't beat those 17 Republicans one at a time - they cannibalized each other in the early melee until the only not-Trump choice with a chance was Cruz.

        Lets be clear Clinton underestimated him immensely and didn't listen to the state by state polling data and preferred to look at the national polling (which was accurate due to her winning the popular vote). We need a candidate that can win purple states and not ignore them
