Heilemann: Trump Put Together a Coalition of Working Class Americans More Effectively than Anybody in the Democratic Party

‘That’s a huge problem’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: “What’s happening is there’s these two different conversations. And what has happened is that conversation — this gets your point, John, is that — is that right now, somehow the Democratic Party finds itself in a place where it is — in is no longer the home of working Americans, largely. And if Bobby Kennedy, the coalition that Bobby Kennedy was trying to put together in 1968 before he was killed, that coalition of working class whites, working class Latinos, working class African-Americans, that coalition has been put together more effectively by Donald Trump than by anybody in the — in the Democratic Party. That’s a huge problem.”
