Now that the election is over, the Democratic Party and its nominee, Hillary Clinton, with clear 20-20 hindsight, realize that they completely ignored the plight of the white working class (and the middle class in general). That our own domestic issues took a back seat to an aggressive foreign policy that would likely bankrupt (if not destroy) our nation was unforgivable in the minds of many voters and cost the Democrats an easy victory.
How is it that both the party and Ms. Clinton completely forgot (or ignored) the clarion call of Bill Clinton’s campaign, “It’s the economy, stupid,” which helped him defeat George H.W. Bush in 1992? They may realize their error now, but hindsight is not a qualification for the presidency.
