LEMIRE And John Heilemann ░░░░░░░░ Democrats have struggled to ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump but they ░░░░░░░░ even been worse at ░░░░░░░░ of identifying themselves and ░░░░░░░░ a message going forward ░░░░░░░░ few exceptions We know ░░░░░░░░ see the crowds that ░░░░░░░░ Sanders and AOC have ░░░░░░░░ but as you speak ░░░░░░░░ members of the party ░░░░░░░░ know what are they ░░░░░░░░ here Because some of ░░░░░░░░ Democrats I ve talked ░░░░░░░░ are frustrated that even ░░░░░░░░ they re still doing ░░░░░░░░ there s a party ░░░░░░░░ now is still consumed ░░░░░░░░ the past and not ░░░░░░░░ for the future and ░░░░░░░░ new message Heilemann Right ░░░░░░░░ John I think that ░░░░░░░░ there s two a ░░░░░░░░ of important things to ░░░░░░░░ One is the end ░░░░░░░░ Anand s last point ░░░░░░░░ is it s a ░░░░░░░░ is true and also ░░░░░░░░ true that Democrats and ░░░░░░░░ say when I say ░░░░░░░░ here I don t ░░░░░░░░ the party but liberals ░░░░░░░░ left the left of ░░░░░░░░ whatever aren t part ░░░░░░░░ the cultural conversation In ░░░░░░░░ there are a couple ░░░░░░░░ cultural conversations going on ░░░░░░░░ America at the same ░░░░░░░░ And one of the ░░░░░░░░ why the cultural conversation ░░░░░░░░ the right has become ░░░░░░░░ gotten so much traction ░░░░░░░░ because of the fact ░░░░░░░░ that the left the ░░░░░░░░ whatever you want to ░░░░░░░░ them has been seen ░░░░░░░░ dominating the mainstream cultural ░░░░░░░░ for so long Who ░░░░░░░░ Hollywood Who controls the ░░░░░░░░ That s you have ░░░░░░░░ be kind of nuts ░░░░░░░░ think that the mainstream ░░░░░░░░ and the mainstream entertainment ░░░░░░░░ in America isn t ░░░░░░░░ left of center What ░░░░░░░░ happening is there s ░░░░░░░░ two different conversations And ░░░░░░░░ has happened is that ░░░░░░░░ this gets your point ░░░░░░░░ is that is that ░░░░░░░░ now somehow the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ finds itself in a ░░░░░░░░ where it is in ░░░░░░░░ no longer the home ░░░░░░░░ working Americans largely And ░░░░░░░░ Bobby Kennedy the coalition ░░░░░░░░ Bobby Kennedy was trying ░░░░░░░░ put together in 1968 ░░░░░░░░ he was killed that ░░░░░░░░ of working class whites ░░░░░░░░ class Latinos working class ░░░░░░░░ Americans that coalition has ░░░░░░░░ put together more effectively ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump than by ░░░░░░░░ in the in the ░░░░░░░░ Party That s a ░░░░░░░░ problem.”
