What trump does well is saying things that people want to hear. Obama was good at that as well when he first ran. That is what all good candidates do and it's what the dems should do regardless if they learn it from trump or not
Then again, most of what trump says is lies lies lies designed to scapegoat immigrants, and trans folks. Obama did not do that. And Obama won cos folks were tired of Repukes, and he was a feelgood candidate for some whites who could now say to themselves: "See? Imma conservative, kinda but I'm still a good guy cos I voted for the black dude with the cute little girls". I doubt Obama would've won against a young white man with pretty blonde kids. It would've been a lot closer. This time around, we can't exclude some hacking took place, given the size of trumps win. Since he won so convincingly ALL swingstates, not just the ones he needed, is a thing which makes that likely. Either hacking or the Putin paid influencers Men, young men, just do NOT vote in those numbers. It's all very unlikely.
