trifecta?

The Dems & Hillary spent more time discrediting Trump and very little time telling the American People who really was the cause of all their problems.

I was pretty connected listening to all the debates, campaign speeches and the Dem talking heads on the cable news channels.

Very little time was taken to really explain how the Repugs screwed us over. In fact I remember reading here on DU that the Hillary campaign wanted to court the anti-Trump Repugs and didn't want to piss them off by dissing the Repug Party.

Sorry - but that's my Monday a.m. quarterbacking of why we lost so big.

If we really took on the Repugs - why would voting Americans reward them the House, Senate & the presidency?
