A cowboy hat-wearing Democrat strategist says President Donald Trump is popular and on top because he echoes 1990 Democrats like former President Bill Clinton. If that’s true then who or what are modern Democrats emulating?
Here’s more. (WATCH)
Democrat strategist tells CNN that Trump is winning because he sounds like a 1990s Democrat:
“I joined the Democratic Party in 1989 because I wanted to fight NAFTA. I wanted to drain the swamp. I wanted to make sure that my tax dollars weren‘t going to foreign wars or wasted.”… pic.twitter.com/pT3auOAepj

He didn’t steal their verbiage. They discarded it.

That sounds about right. The Democrats jettisoned their message that once resonated with the voting public and Trump simply picked up the best pieces and integrated them into his populist approach.
That helps explain why the working class has largely abandoned the modern-day Democrat Party. Posters see it.
Trump’s policies resonate because they echo the working-class values Democrats once championed. It’s a shame the party drifted, losing touch with its base. MAGA brings those values back to the forefront.

It isn’t that they quit talking about those things, they shifted further left and abandoned those issues for more extreme ones. They left all those voters behind to be vacuumed up by Trump.

Interesting observation. Trump basically adopted the old-school Democratic populist playbook while the modern Dems moved away from those core working class issues.

The Democrats replaced what worked with a mish-mash of extremist, nonsensical, destructive, progressive policies.
The poster below is right. The people in this pic were all once Democrats but left the party as it swung to the far left.
Every person in this photo was once a democrat.

Same… 90s Democrat, Gen Xer. Now a Republican. I may have changed parties but still hold the same ideals.

It’s true IMO. What seems to have happened is we have populist conservatives and classic liberals banded together in a big tent sharing a common agenda to stop war, reduce waste and focus on helping Americans. The old left and right paradigms and definitions are meaningless in…

The Republican Party is now the big tent party the Democrats used to aspire to.
The modern-day Democrats are the dregs.
Dem base is well-off “progressive” urban/suburban professional “laptop-class” college grads

The Democrat party has been overtaken by the woke mind virus. There is no coming back for them. Their TDS has ensured the collapse of their stranglehold on the populace. Trump fundamentally transformed the Republican party and awakened millions.

Some are waking up to what the Democrat party has become.

This is all apparent. We don’t understand why that Dem strategist is still a Democrat. All the things he says he’s for are MAGA positions. Not sure what he’s waiting on, the Democrats are only going to move more to the left. He’s pining for a Dem Party that’s never coming back.
