It was Hillary's decision to embrace Goldman Sachs while essentially spitting on these white voters that turned the Rust Belt into her campaign's killing fields as that impregnable "Blue Wall" came crashing down on election night.
Now that Hillary is back out on the campaign trail, the Democrats are in deep, deep trouble.
Back in 2014 this humble author wrote right here at OpEd News:
If Mrs. Clinton goes down she is going to take the entire party down with her and there is no Plan B for the immediate future. Republican strategists must be licking their chops over the prospect of a Democratic party self-immolation -- that is if they can stop bickering among themselves long enough take advantage of the rare historical opportunity to deliver the killing blow to their nemesis. The scheming Karl Rove once spoke of a "permanent Republican majority" although he could never deliver it. That prophecy is within reach if all that the GOP does is simply stay out of the Democrats' way as they continue to march off the edge of a cliff like a pack of drunken lemmings.
She remains their most prominent voice and has an army of angry loyalists at her command. She is also a celebrity who is guaranteed free media coverage which she will continue to take advantage of in order to inveigh against those who in her twisted mind robbed her of her destiny.
It's difficult to see how the already weakened party is going to be able to fend off this deranged, corrupt, blood soaked neocon succubus who like a zombie, just refuses to go away and die.
Despite denials, it is probably a safe bet that Mrs. Clinton will once again get the party nomination in the next presidential election and will lose by a huge margin. Even if the Democrats, the media and their Deep State allies succeed in toppling Trump, she will face true believer Mike Pence and a reinvigorated Christian Right movement that has been largely dormant for a decade.
The Democrats are like a big stupid donkey, there just isn't a stick big enough to beat any sense into their heads but hey, their party logo is that of a jackass which is very apropos.
Maybe another crushing general election loss will do the trick and finally free the captive party to summon up the courage to pound a stake through this ghoulish political vampire's heart.
