1.8M viewsI just want to make sure I understand. what I think you're all hinting at which. is that Donald Trump and the Republican. Party have completed a journey in which. they are the party of disruption they. are the party that assaults The. Establishment they are the party that. says not just to the white working class. but to the working class in a number of. different demographic groups including. black and Latino working-class Americans. that we are your Refuge from an unfair. broken system and I would only add their. ability to do that was made easier by a.
Democratic party who seated the mantle. on that front absolutely the biggest. character in this race to me was not on. the ballot in 2020 it was Joe Biden in. my opinion like Joe Biden's refusal to. do what he implied he would do in 2020. and transition to a different type of. generation allow Democrats to have a. broader conversation about change allow. Democrats to be freed from the status. quo is not what happened I think it. would be easier for me to say.
that Donald Trump completed this Mass. realignment among the working class if. we had a universe where the Democrats. had a primary where the Democrats. nominated a candidate that was based. around some set of ideas and it was not. tied to this Administration so clearly. and the status quo but since that is not. what happened I think it has made the. Republican ability to be the Agents of. change so much easier that I find it the. biggest thing that has happened in this. race and I think speaks to what we're. saying about what's happened over the. last 3 months the place that they were.
in before the candidate switch happened. made it such that you could run a. perfect race or whatever and you are. still playing on ground that brings you. to 50/50 because the biggest thing in my. opinion that happened was they tied. themselves to an unpopular. Administration and with it the status. quo that did not represent change and. there was a lot of evidence that that. was a bad idea.
