The big problem is not Trump. It is "Trumpism"

You pick mentally stable candidate over the unstable.

That each side believed the other's candidate was the exact worst person for the job does not mean that each side's candidate was the exact worst person for the job.

I agree.

But you and I believing something does not mean others did not. We live in a country that is about 40% to 50% conservatives (depending on what poll you read). So you can't just ignore what they think. And you can't be upset when they don't vote the way you want them to, despite you telling them who the correct choice is (people often resent being told what to do even when they aren't being called racists and sexists if they don't follow your instructions).

If Democrats truly want to flip Republican voters, they first need to realize why Hillary was so abhorrent to them and learn from their mistakes.

If they just want Republican voters to shut the hell up and hope that that works in 2020 they're probably going to be very disappointed.
