Frank Rich: No Sympathy for the Hillbilly

14. Disagree. These voters need to hear Democratic values

The Trump base does have a reason to complain -- they have lost jobs due to globalization and the new jobs in this economy are being generated elsewhere- in cities.

The conservative media has persuaded Trump voters that problems are caused by vague liberal-elites, rather than the true cause of Trump voters' problems - the wealthy and corporations and CEOs that are squeezing down minimum wage and cutting benefits.

It's actually a short leap to getting those voters back -- Democrats hold the substantive advantage. It's all about communication. Liberals need to fix their communication. As well as developing a job retraining program as in Germany.

Fix communication, enumerate liberal values, and go after the Trump base. That will lead to a renaissance in this country.
