1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, The Hill dot Com is reporting, and Democrats are

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: grappling with how to learn the right lessons from Trump selection.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out how to avoid taking the

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: wrong lessons into the next presidential race. Joe Trippy, who

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: ran Howard Dean's failed campaign, says Hillary could have won

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: if just a small number of voters in key states

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: have voted the other way. So Trippy warns that making

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: big changes could be dangerous. He said, everybody can point

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: to something that went wrong and they're right. Since lots

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: of things did go wrong, it makes it impossible to

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: know what the party really needs to do now. Adding

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: to the Democrat woes, they don't have a clear leader

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: once Obama leaves office other than him. Democrats worry that

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: if they try to appeal to the rust belt votes

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: to put Trump over the top, they risk alienating their

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: black and Hispanic base. The right lessons Democrats could learn

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: are obvious. For instance, how about putting aside identity politics

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: and embracing policy is good for everybody, Or how about

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: abandoning class warfare and the big government welfare state mentality

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: in favor of policies that would grow the economy for everybody.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: But grapple as they might, they will not learn the

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: right lessons because they will never in a million years

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: admit the truth. Their problem is liberalism, and they are liberals.

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: They're doomed, they are forever doomed. Hopefully m
