Trump won by about 1.5% against a bad Democratic candidate who promoted the status quo. Trump's win was not based on a set of great policies. Trump had one sure fire winner: immigration.
Many people think DOGE, tariffs and breaking long standing alliances are terrible policy. They see Republicans trying to impeach judges for disagreeing with the president.
I see many posts stating the Democratic party is hopelessly loss. The only thing the Democratic party needs is new leadership.
Part of this equation is that Trump has high negatives as well. A better candidate would have won by a bigger landslide. It’s not the messaging, it’s the message. Dems will first need to come to terms with that.
