It was a great speech and the President is right. Russia had absolutely
nothing to do with why Trump won the presidency. Anyone who believes that it did - are in a word... delusional.
Trump won the election because of the
issues he campaigned on. And despite all of the conspiratorial nonsense to try and cover up that fact - the leaders of the democratic party (like Schumer) damn well know it too. Which is why in his recent roll out of a new policy agenda for the democratic party he has basically copied Trump's campaign platform word for word.
So despite all the hyperbolic and over-the top rhetoric so many democrats are aiming at the President - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
So I have to give at least a few of their party leader's credit. They aren't nearly so stupid as their mindless partisan drones who keep squabbling about Russia seem to be. They actually
do know why they really lost - and are taking steps to correct it by adopting many of the same policies candidate Trump ran on. Because if they want to start winning elections across the country again - that's what the party is going to have to do. This mindless obsession for identity politics, Russia and Trump bashing isn't going to cut it.
