The winning message for a Democrat:

I will be your revenge. I will burn the Republican’s criminal empire to the ground. It won’t undo their crimes, but I will make them suffer.

    The only way this will happen is by stealth. That is, a candidate that is mainstreem and moderate and has no history of being progressive or ethical, changes their stripes after they get elected. Any candidate who identifies themselves as somebody who will hold the GOP to account or has a history of trying to do so, will mysteriously never get anywhere near the Dem nomination no matter how popular they are (cf Bernie Sanders having the Dem nomination stolen from him both times by chicanery and backroom dealing by the corporatist Dems.

      Also probably rich enough that he or she doesn’t really need to worry about campaign financing. The last time we had that was with FDR. The elites learned from that experience and have bankrolled and enabled FDR’s antithesis: Trump.
