Jeffries is trying really hard not to understand how bad he is. In the article he's quoted as saying something like it's because of Trump's policies that people are getting turned off. How intentionally oblivious is that. Everyone knows that it's hard to stop Trump when you're in the minority, everyone sympathizes with that. But everyone also knows you have a duty to try really hard, and you didn't try at all, and that's your fault. It's time for you to retire.

People also remember how, when the Democrats were the majority party, the Republican minority could somehow obstruct, delay and water down anything they proposed that even approached being progressive policy that would help large numbers of working class people, yet the Dems have somehow forgotten all those tactics that were used against them to great success now that they find themselves the minority party.
