Let's summarize Cry-Baby-trump's negotiation outcomes...

1a. He dismantles the nuclear mediation agreement with Iran negotiated during the Obama Administration.
1b. He starts negotiating with Iran for an agreement that will basically reinstate what was in the Obama Administration agreement.
1c. He declares victory "Art of the Deal" style (that he didn't write or come up with the title) and claims no one else could have done what he did.

2a. He disrupts the world economy with a sloppy execution of a tariff plan under the silly schoolgirl's notion that the USA doesn't need any trading partners.
2b. He walks back his tariff plan that reinstates trading partnerships.
2c. He declares victory "Art of the Deal" style (that he didn't write or come up with the title) and claims no one else could have done what he did.

Hey hey hey, he hasn’t signed off on a JCPOA 2.0 quite yet. It’s all in flux but the inclination of some in his administration to do so is pathetic.

don't think the maga-Republicans are extending themselves to be an information source to the fat slob they worship. Instead, they are equating the gift of the Statue of Liberty from France with the so-called gift of a $400 M "palace in the sky" from Qatar. Personally, from my observations Cry-Baby-trump is as much diminished as Biden was. His thinking is clouded, his rants are jumbled, and his command of facts is more compromised than it ever was in the past. He is out of his element, past his prime, and only going to get worse while being disguised as much as Biden was.

💯 % No doubt.

Harris lost a lot of voters who did come out for Biden.

Yeah, particularly low-propensity voters who were upset with Trump‘s handling of the pandemic and the chaos in 2020.

Look, if she lost some high-propensity progressives who didn’t vote for her because of Gaza than so be it, these people are unreliable and shouldn’t be part of the coalition if they favor Trump over Biden/Harris because they’re upset with their Middle East policy. But that was actually a minor issue for most young voters far behind inflation, the economy, immigration, health care etc.

Harris held the moderate vote but she lost the swing vote and the swing vote aren’t moderates as we thought of moderates pre-Trump. The swing voters are now mostly less informed, less educated, low-propensity voters, highly susceptible to populism. The educated, moderate, suburban voters who used to vote for McCain, Bush or Romney are now part of the Democratic coalition - albeit begrudgingly.

As far ad future candidates are concerned. I‘d go with Josh Shapiro or Rahm Emanuel.

@CedricH So, far I've been impressed with J.B. Pritzker. Rahm Emanuel has a tarnished record from his mayoral time in Chicago. I don't think he could win. Shapiro... possibly. I need to see more. My fear is the Democrats like to put up statement-candidates and will obsess over the statement at the expense of winnability.

@MarkPaul
In any case, Democrats will have to agree on their general policy positions going forward and I believe Clinton‘s triangulation should serve as a template. I outlined my thoughts in a post on how to unite moderate upper-middle class and working class voters under the same Democratic banner.
