Dem Strategist Says Trump Sounds Like A 90s Democrat Who Stole His Party's Message And Verbiage

Posted • February 16, 2025: A cowboy hat-wearing Democrat strategist says President Donald Trump is popular and on top because he echoes 1990 Democrats like former President Bill Clinton. If that’s true then who or what are modern Democrats emulating? —— Democrat strategist tells CNN that Trump is winning because he sounds like a 1990s Democrat: "I joined the Democratic Party in 1989 because I wanted to fight NAFTA. I wanted to drain the swamp. I wanted to make sure that my tax dollars weren‘t going to foreign wars or wasted." - "That sounds like Donald Trump today. That’s why we lose to him, is we’ve let him steal our verbiage. We have quit talking about working Americans, keeping America safe, doing the things that we did when I joined this party." He's right. But instead of listening, the DNC doubles down on name-calling, hoaxes, and woke insanity.

He didn't steal their verbiage. They discarded it. The Democrats jettisoned their message that once resonated with the voting public and Trump simply picked up the best pieces and integrated them into his populist approach. That helps explain why the working class has largely abandoned the modern-day Democrat Party. Trump's policies resonate because they echo the working-class values Democrats once championed. It's a shame the party drifted, losing touch with its base. MAGA brings those values back to the forefront. It isn't that they quit talking about those things, they shifted further left and abandoned those issues for more extreme ones. They left all those voters behind to be vacuumed up by Trump. Trump basically adopted the old-school Democratic populist playbook while the modern Dems moved away from those core working class issues. The Democrats replaced what worked with a mish-mash of extremist, nonsensical, destructive, progressive policies.

The people in this pic were all once Democrats but left the party as it swung to the far left. Every person in this photo was once a Democrat. Let that sink in. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GckakoPWEAAJBNg?format=jpg&name=900x900 —— What seems to have happened is we have populist conservatives and classic liberals banded together in a big tent sharing a common agenda to stop war, reduce waste and focus on helping Americans. The old left and right paradigms and definitions are meaningless in the context of this movement. The Republican Party is now the big tent party the Democrats used to aspire to. The modern-day Democrats are the dregs. The Democrat base is well-off "progressive" urban/suburban professional "laptop-class" college grads. The Democrat party has been overtaken by the woke mind virus. There is no coming back for them. Their TDS has ensured the collapse of their stranglehold on the populace. Trump fundamentally transformed the Republican party and awakened millions. (…)
