3. Back to TPP.

The direct correlation between Sander's primary voters in the Rust Belt and the falloff in General Election turnout for Hillary is the elephant in the room.

I can't believe the Sander's fans did what they said they would do.

And here they are, relitigating every primary issue.

This data suggests that if the Democratic Party wants to win the Rust Belt, it should not go chasing after the white working-class men who voted for Trump. The party should spend its energy figuring out why Democrats lost millions of voters to some other candidate or to abstention. Exit polls do not collect information about why voters stay home. Perhaps it’s time someone asked them.
