I remember after the 2006 midterm elections, when the Democrats took back over Congress,
George W. Bush had an approval rating around 50%, maybe a little lower.
A lot of Progressive, Liberal, Democrat, or whatever you want to call them pundits and
writers were out there writing eulogies for the Republican Party.
A lot of us, myself included, were out there saying, "They're done.
They're finished.
George W. Bush has destroyed this party.
There's no coming back from this."
Well, it only took four years after that for the Republicans, excuse me, to retake the
House of Representatives.
Then a few years later, they retook the Senate.
Now they've got the presidency, and suddenly those eulogies that we were writing for the
Republican Party 11 years ago are now more relevant to the Democratic Party.
The big question here is do the Democrats understand why they lost in 2016, or why they
lost the midterms in 2014, and 2012, and 2010?
You see where I'm going with this?
They lack self-awareness at this point, and it's killing them.
When we look at all of the people who worked on Hillary Clinton's campaign, and the excuses
they have come up with as to why they lost this campaign.
It was James Comey and the FBI letter right before the election saying they're reopening
the investigation.
It was the Russians hacking and colluding with Donald Trump, that did.
It was Bernie Sanders coming out there and he wasn't ... I know he supported her, but
he didn't support her hard enough.
It was kind of a backhanded thing.
It was Jill Stein and the third party.
For the love of god, people.
The 2016 election is over, okay?
It's over.
It ended.
It's done.
All of those things may have played a factor, but let me go ahead and tell you this.
After the DNC email hack and leak came out, Hillary Clinton's support actually went up,
so I know for a fact that that didn't play a role in it.
James Comey on the other hand, her numbers went down after he released his little thing
in October saying they were reopening the investigation even though they weren't.
Yeah, Comey played a role, but do you know what played the biggest role, the thing that
none of you who've worked on that campaign or who supported Hillary Clinton are acknowledging
today?
The fact that she only talked about issues 25% of the time, in 25% of her speeches, 25%
of her advertisements.
That is all she devoted towards issues.
75% of the time when she was out there speaking or cutting an ad, it was to talk bad, insult,
attack Donald Trump or other Republicans.
In the past, that was a good strategy.
In fact, her husband's advisors, Paul Begala and James Carville, came up with a little
slogan that served the Democrats pretty well at the time, "Always attack, never defend."
Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore today.
Hillary Clinton's campaign failed because she didn't talk about the issues, because
she ignored most of America.
She thought it was more important to go to fundraisers than to go and talk about income
inequality.
That's why she failed, but we know that.
Most of us, who've read the reports, who've read the studies, who've been paying attention,
we know that, but it's the people who worked on her campaign, the people, these long-time
Democratic advisors and strategists in Washington, DC, the people who are still trying to have
influence over the Democratic Party, the people who still want to run other campaigns, they
won't accept that.
Until they accept that, the Democratic Party cannot move on and grow.
Now, I'm not one of these people who's out there saying, "Bernie Sanders would've won."
Would he have won?
Doesn't matter.
That's my answer to that.
It doesn't matter.
The time for should've, would've, could've is over.
I supported Bernie in the primary, and I voted for Hillary in the general.
I am a registered Democrat, have been since the day I registered to vote, and probably
always will be, unless something better comes along, but I understand the problems with
my party.
I am not afraid to mention them.
I am not afraid to attack my own party when they turn their back on the working class,
when they turn their back on the environment, when they put the profits over corporations
over the American people.
I will go after them.
I do, I have, I will, and that's the problem that the Democratic Party has right now.
There's not enough people inside the party to tell them that these things are wrong.
Until we get that, they won't learn.
If they don't learn, then they at least better get used
to losing.
