What is it with Trump supporters not wanting to discuss policy without name calling

[A Theist]

I think the racist name calling was part of why she lost. If the dems continue with this tactic it's going to cost them another election 2 / 4 years from now. But what I think mainly cost them the election, (and no, not the Russians), is that they lost the biggest part of their base, the white blue collar working class males in the rust belt and coal states. These guys traditionally voted democrat for years. They elected Obama to office, twice. You can't alienate your largest base and win elections. You can't shut their jobs down and think you're going to continue to get their vote...and you can't continue to malign and demonize them as racists and think you're going to retake both Houses of Congress and the Presidency.

victory while compromising higher principles isn't victory

Evidently, the blue collar working class voters in the rust belt and coal states don't align themselves with your personal views on "higher principles". Your opinions don't pay their bills or put food on their tables. Losing the White House and both Houses of Congress definitely isn't victory. What's to become of your principles now?
