It was the fact that she was an unbelievably weak candidate having to defend a president who had opened the border, which is something now even Democrats can admit was a huge mistake and goes to the heart of their not just branding problem, not just messaging problem. but their policy problem, the fact that they have lost touch with what it means to be working class.

They have lost touch with the fact that immigration for working class people is an economic kitchen table issue.
