LIVE NOW on Politics Done Right: Naomi Klein is right, Trump victory partially Progressives' fault -

Naomi Klein is right, Trump victory partially Progressives' fault -- How do we win again?

Today's Topic:
Right after the election, Naomi Klein wrote a prescient piece that still holds true today. We can blame just about everything including the Russians, voter suppression, Comey, and more for Clinton's loss. We would be right. But it should not have come down to a close election especial when running against the character Clinton ran against. Today it is not about rehashing. It is about ensuring we do not make the same mistakes. Everything tells me we are in fact doing the same thing again. The plea is in hopes we ultimately don't.

Today we have two special guests, Indivisible Houston President David Cohen and Action Chair Nisha Handle. They are here to announce a very important event every democracy loving Texan should attend, The Rally and Candlelight Vigil for TRUTH.

Thursdays at 3:00 - 4:00 PM Central Time
Houston, Galveston, Livingston, Kingwood, Humble, Texas and surrounding areas.

The margin of victory was so small, that one can pick ANY factor and claim it was the "cause". Heck, you could probably demonstrate it was her choice of pant suits at the convention. It wasn't one thing, it was everything.
Death of a thousand cuts. The real question to be asked was, could ANY democrat have won the race?
