Why Democrats keep losing elections
Most voters reject the liberal notion that the American character is fundamentally flawed

Hillary Clinton recently asserted she was cheated from victory in the final weeks of the presidential campaign by Jim Comey’s decision to reopen the FBI investigation into her emails and Russian interference. This is terribly sad because it encourages congressional Democrats to continue denying the legitimacy of President Trump and obstructing efforts to improve health care, reform taxes and improve economic opportunity for all Americans.
Both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump were far from perfect candidates but as a former senator and secretary of State, she was better experienced for the demands of the presidency. Yet, the campaign remained close enough into the final weeks for the Comey announcement to perhaps tip the outcome — I am hardly convinced Russian efforts changed many votes — because Mrs. Clinton misread the primal values of historically Democratic voters from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin and in other places.
