How Trump won the popular and electoral college vote

- From Ronald Reagan to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama,, winning presidential candidates have run on optimistic messages. Trump, however, used a more negative rallying cry saying the U.S. is a “nation in decline.” Doris Kearns Goodwin, the historian and presidential biographer, joined Boston Public Radio to discuss why this messaging won Trump the popular and electoral votes.

I think Donald Trump is a horriible person. I looked up his biography. He was kicked out of high school for bad behavior (he still has it!); so no high school diploma. He has a college degree which his father purchased for him, but he never went one day to college. Not only is he horrible, he is uneducated and "Stupid"! Let's start impeachment. I am 85 years old and and I do not want to see our wonderful country go to pot because of a horrible person.
This refusal to accept any responsibility for misleading the public is why the public has lost faith in legacy nedia.
Legacy NEDIA?
The people did rise up against lawfare in this election.
This guy saying legacy media is fact based eliminates him from any credible discussion on the media.
Yep she didn't get voted in because she's a woman and mainstream media is fact based.
It is fact-based. It is irrelevant.
Agreed...... The lying "Fact based"media told us that Biden was mentally excellent for 4 years...... The ABC CBS NBC CNN MSNBC and the New York Times have no credibility at all
When I heard that all I could think of was Joy Reid on CNN and The View on ABC and their continuous Hitler comments and constant racism. And of course there are the many Trump misquotes, very fine people, dictator on Day One, etc. All taken out of context in order to completely change their meaning. The fact is people go to trusted social media accounts in order to get the facts, not the MSM.
@@unclerat2131 It is lie-based. It is irrelevant. Wrong in every meaningful way: the emperor has no clothes and been called out, now all see and speak of the folly.
Clearly we live in two different realities.
Leftists live in an Orwellian bubble.
Two different countries. Turns out one half claim to know the other yet had no idea. Turns out they hate half the country. A sad group is those claiming to be wise yet exposed as fools, having injected many lies and follies.
Doris said Harris ran a great campaign!😂
@@ramongonzalez2112 If she truly believes that, she needs to crush some more tin foil on her hat because she's getting some pretty heavy interference.
You both live in the same reality; you both look at it differently. 😀
By what measure did she wage a very good campaign?
I think she ran a decent campaign. And she won the lone presidential debate of the general election. But she could never overcome being tied so heavily to Biden.
@@trwent You are ignoring the obvious ... it was an epic failure of voter turn out, which is the fault of the operational leadership of the democratic party. Biden got 81 million votes in 2020 and Harris only got about 75 million votes in 2024. And that does not even consider the at least 3-5 million new voters from 2020 to 2024.
If the DNC had competent professional operational leadership, such as a Mike Bloomberg, or a Steve Ballmer, or a Mark Cuban instead of nice guy political hacks at the operational leadership level .... they would almost certainly have won in a landslide. Once again the democrats wasted billions of dollars on useless advertising instead of devoting those resources to grass roots orgainizing in every state (like Stacy Abrahms has done in Georgia). Reportedly advertising affects less than 1/3 of 1% of voter decisions ...ie. a waste of billions of dollars.
The democrats have been running the same old tired and failed political playbook for decades now .... advertise, advertise, advertise with little to none of a consistent ground game from day to day in every state. They will continue to lose (when they should easily win and dominate) until they develop a consistent and professional strategic plan. That requires top notch operational leadership, which they clearly do not have.
@@trwent Yeah, Biden certainly hurt her, but the problem is that 1) she couldn't separate herself from HER OWN PAST, and 2) the only way she separated herself from Biden was essentially pledging to do MORE than Biden did when it came to all of his least popular policies. To me, it's kind of like if Chris Watts and Ted Bundy were running against each other and people said that Ted Bundy didn't win because he didn't separate himself enough from Chris Watts. Actually, he did separate himself. Chris Watts is unpopular because he is a murderer. Ted Bundy's distinction is that he murdered MORE people. That isn't going to get him more votes. It's going to get him fewer votes. The one thing that might let him win if he were going up against Chris Watts is that he didn't to our knowledge kill young children, but if he is going up against any non-murderer he is still going to lose. I felt Harris actually did distinguish herself a lot from Biden, but all she proved to me was that I was wise to want Biden to beat her the first time they ran against each other because he is a much better candidate than she is.
...GIVEN WHAT SHE COULD DO. Perhaps something distracted you from hearing her complete sentence????? And the previous few minutes of statements or those that followed??
The elites with large stock portfolio are better off today, but the average person who lives from paycheck to paycheck to paycheck is worse off!
You so stuck in the past. Ignorant of the day in age in which we live. Democrat party is run by, financed by, voted for by the elite rich white people. The party of the rich whites who are themselves pontificating that they know America, yet they know nothing of more than half the people of the country they lord over.
Ignorant yet claiming to be wise. How ignorant can one be while blind and claiming to see? Wrong in ways time itself would fail to explain.
Those elites should help those who are working pay check to pay check.
@@AnnieHunt-wm1ejThose * elites, are probably the ones, who received Trump’s tax-cut, of which one of them received a 7 million tax refund ! ! Since he hasn’t paid taxes in almost twenty years, it couldn’t have been him. ( 😡 During the 2015 debates, Trump bragged to Hillary Clinton, “ I’m smart, I don’t pay taxes ! “ 😱 ). He had said he would donate his * White House salary, but reportedly, he only donated * two payments, of $750 ( $1500 ).

Get money out of politics. Absolutely!

To hear Kamala spent a billion dollars and is at least 20 million in debt now, is absolutely appalling. The donors attempting to buy political influence deserve to have wasted their money on a losing campaign.

I sure have seen a lot of liberals asking other liberals why liberals lost.
It didn't shock me that the people who didn't probably went back up. Pre-2016. It was always around 90m-100m. I will find out once every state is at 100%.
When liberals lose they don’t attack the capitol.
They are too extreme and woke. They were forcing the opinions of a few on the majority
They live in an Orwellian bubble.
*Correction: these people describe themselves as "liberals" but they are the opposite... Authoritarian leftists, identity Marxists, and economic communists.
I’m disappointed to hear Doris say “she ran a great campaign.” She couldn’t articulate her policies in a way that resonated.
She did run a great campaign & she is 5 times more qualified than Trump to be president! She articulated her policies just fine over and over again. Apparently you weren't listening because you didn't want to hear, why, I don't know.
@@michaetaylor8097if she ran a great campaign she would have won in the swing states. She didn’t resonate with people, and it’s not completely her fault. The people around her failed her miserably.
She articulated her policies to me just fine. I also comprehend above a 3rd grade level. That helps.

@@tommyriam8320 We all are gonna need help with Trump as president, that’s a fact.
Speaking in platitudes IS NOT a positive message. Calling your political opponent a Fascist and Hitler is not a platform to stand on. Harris lost on a lack of talking about policies or lack thereof. Race and misogeny had nothing to do with it. Everyone I know would vote for Condoleeza Rice in a minute. Way overannalising the loss when it boils down to she "cant think of anything I would change from the past 4 years".
I seem to recall a guy named JD Vance who also compared Trump to Hitler.
@@trwent I seem to recall that Vance was asked about that and openly admitted he was wrong. I seem to recall that in debates Harris and Biden were destroying each other with obvious hostility. Have they ever said they were wrong on their mutual accusations ?.
@kemosabegt350geuss6 Vance said he was wrong in order for Trump to pick him as his VP. And speaking of admitting one is wrong, has Trump EVER done that in his LIFE?
What happened to the 10+ million missing votes from the Democrat party? I'm a little confused about what happened to all of those millions. It's just weird.
15 millions excess deaths. Could be the same ppl.
18 million
@@fred463 How do you figure 18 million? Kamala Harris got 72,985,430 Joe Biden got 81,283,501 the difference is 8,298,071.
They never existed. That was voter fraud.
I never hear Trump called for retribution, the use of the DOJ against your political rival, that's retribution.
Trump literally said that "sometimes revenge is justified". Using the DOJ to investigate criminal actions that have been approved by grand juries, where there has to be enough evidence to proceed with a trial. Evidence was produced in the civil sexual assault trial where he was convicted by a jury of his peers. Evidence was presented and that is why he was convicted of 34 counts of felony fraud by a jury of his peers. It is not retribution when there is a mountain of evidence and juries were hand picked to be as neutral as possible. There were Republicans on those juries. There is no better way to resolve criminal behavior than our justice system. You are arguing out of your feelings, but facts are facts.
If you didn't hear Trump's call for retribution then you weren't listening.
As usual there is no quote, just that he said something anybody might say, and then if you're insane you can imagine out a conspiracy theory that he meant the most alarmist thing you can think of by saying it.
There were many cases against Trump. That’s evidence of retribution. I heard it through the grapevine is not evidence.
He supposedly wanted to put that huge war-hawk in front of a firing squad. Is that what he actually said?
Have you been in a cave for the last year?
Hilariously out of touch
How so?
What happened to the millions of democrats who didn't bother to show up?
There are a lot of people who believe that it demonstrates that those voters never really existed or maybe they are still dead.
Ya exactly. Just didn't like Harris I guess. The most important election and people didn't show up.
You mean all the mail in ballots that probably were fake.
Some didn't exist
I stayed home as an active protest non-vote to send a message to the Democrats that they need to radically change their entire way of going about politics. I didn’t vote for trump b/c is a dirty crook and sex predator. The number of non-votes is being intensely studied and analyzed, so my non-vote was heard loudly and clearly. It’s a RIGHT to vote, not an obligation, and I exercise my right by not voting.
Just further proof that these people don’t understand Trump and those of us who have voted for him three times.
I think they understand all too well.
What are they missing?
They are globalists or don't get it. Very stupid people with degrees. Tyrants always throughout history rise to power and turn around and take out the people who got them there. The snake eats its tail.
The hate, the lies,the ignorance,malice against his own people,need more...
Firing squads? She drank the Koolaide.
Apparently, she was burdened by what has been.
WHO pursued and cheered on lawfare?! YOU.
Fact based media? Who tf are you talking about?
Definitely NOT cnn and msnbc 😂😂😂
They live in an Orwellian bubble.
The only propaganda technique I have ever seen used on Fox is just ignoring a story they cannot spin. By contrast, the Lefties routinely put out stories that are not only misleading but intentionally misleading, given that they must know better.
Trump calls for using military against enemies within. (He said "if necessary".) Trump says illegal aliens are poisoning the blood of our country. (He restricted that to "mental institutions and prisons".) Trump threatens Liz Cheney. (He pointed out that the Cheneys make a point of never being in the front lines of the wars they promote.) Trump threatens journalists. (He pointed out that, due to the lack of the usual protections, anyone firing at him might hit a journalist.) It was a relentless program of "How can we use this to get Bad Orange Man?". No informed observer could fail to see through it.
The ones pushing disinformation (Russia hoax, suppressing Hunter Biden laptop story, lawfare, etc ) are the ones who want to censor others??? GIVE ME A BREAK!
NoT. I want justice Kerns just spread leftist propaganda trump did not talk about firing squad

Doris was my prof at Harvard. Wow was she popular then. Sadly. She has lost her mind, or her objectivity. How can any intelligent person say that Kammy ran a good campaign? She never defined herself properly, or her policies.
To be fair, having to put together a presidential campaign in 2 months is a superhuman task. Trump has had 4. You could be more considerate, especially toward a valued professor that shaped you.
Harris had 106 days to create and run a campaign, instead of the usual two years.
@@AI-xs4fphow long is a reasonably acceptable time to form a complete thought? If you are qualified to be president of the United States you should at the very least be able to articulate and outline your policies and plan for the future. She couldn’t do that, why? Because she isn’t and never was qualified.
The media (through fear I might add) was only able to convince out of touch elitist and overly emotional weak minded people that she was a saint and an excellent leader. What does that tell you about the American people? Most of us aren’t that gullible, thankfully.
She was in power since 2021, that's a long time.
Well she was on LBJ's staff. One of the worst President in the history of the United States.
When Joe Rogan is more important than Sixty minutes , the fourth estate is dead .
The fourth estate killed itself when it devolved into tabloidism for viewership and profit. Being less rational and less professional than podcasters caused the demise.

And to address Joe Rogan Harris was too busy hobnobbing with celebrities and not sitting down with regular folks. It's her fault they lost
Just the opposite.
@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES yes he has by 4+ million votes.
Most of what the legacy media told us turned out to be either untrue or deliberately misleading. People looked for the truth elsewhere. Censoring ones ability to fact check is not the answer. Truthful, honest, unbiased reporting is the answer.
I don't think Trump's message was negative, it was positive "Make America Great Again". The negativity was on the other side calling him Hitler, facist and a dictator, etc, when we all lived through his first term and he was nothing like that.
Exactly
He is a racist and a dictator etc. He was negative by saying the country is in a bad place. He lies! He told over 30,000 lies during his first term.
Oh, you mean calling half the nation "the enemy within" is not negative? Calling for mass deportation of 15 million, calling for political and ideological prosecution and dismissing the constitution is positive?
The delusion and hypocrisy is revealing.

@@DavidLacy-v3s Not to mention the lie that he only gave tax breaks to the rich and did nothing for the middle class. He lowered taxes for EVERYONE!!

He thinks Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" is great! I'm howling.
"Kamala ran a great campaign." Words from the mouth of DKG who many see as a brilliant person. Are you kidding me? A totally objective analysis of Kamala's campaign would show that she dodged every single interview that would require her to answer substantive questions. That's just a fact Doris. The so-called legacy media tried to drag her across the finish line, but they could only do so much. She's just an empty pants-suit. Don't waste too much time trying to figure out "what happened".

She did many interviews, you were TOLD she didn’t and weren’t shown.

@@mrsweetpotato4354😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop.
I’m a Dem and I’m still really pissed off she was forced on us . That ain’t the way it works folks.
There's NOTHING "democratic" about the Democrat party.
Democrat voters have not been allowed to choose their candidate in at least 5 presidential elections,
I'll explain:
-Kamala was clearly installed, after the actual candidate w votes (Biden) was forced out.
-They also used lawfare and slander to force out RFKjr,
-2020, Bernie probably would have won if the dnc didn't arrange for the ENTIRE field to drop out ON THE SAME DAY and rewarded them later w admin slots. JOE wasn't the Dem people candidate until they were told he was.
-2016, BERNIE DEFINITELY would have been the nominee of the people voting was how they pick the candidate.
-2008, Hillary would have been the candidate if they Went with the vote getter... She won the Florida primary by landslide and the dnc disqualified the results by saying that fla held the vote on the wrong day and then selected Obama.
Was Biden's condition concealed from you? Were you bullied into falling in line and backing the incumbent?
So Gerald Ford was our president in the 70s for 2 1/2 years and was never even elected vice President much less President, and he put a justice on the Suoreme Court, pardoned Nixon, granted conditional pardons to Vietnam war draft dodgers, presided over the swine flu response, started special education in this country…in other words he had a substantive term in office and there was no Oh he’s not legitimate. He was a senator that Nixon just picked. Many many Presidents have served who were never elected. American democracy is resilient and flexible and people have stepped up to serve when they were called upon by the exigencies of the moment. Harris’s candidacy was not only acceptable it was part of a long American tradition.
You getting trump forced on you is. Which is worse?
MAGA would vote for a rock if it means power. Simple as that. Liberals crumble as the mere thought a candidate is not PERFECT.
@ Gerald Ford defeated Ronald Reagan in the primaries and was properly nominated at the convention then roundly lost to Carter. Not even close to the same and you know it.
To the point regarding social media: When newspapers dominated the media landscape, 'yellow' journalism was rampant. Hearst literally started a war with 'fake' news. It took decades for newspapers and then radio to develop professional standards...which briefly carried over to TV (most of the early TV news people came out of radio). There will be great damage to people's lives before this digital world smooths out....in the meantime, it's the old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.
Nespapers and news stations are no longer professional journalists with standards. They have become bias advocates. Splicing edited videos, telling half truths, and even outright lying so this people are gonna look for info somewhere else, unfortunately with the internet, there is a lot of the same BS there too. We have let the Genie out of the bottle and can't put it back in, where that leads, who knows?
Good points, but it's not just standards or professionalism. The media landscape is more decentralized now due to the Internet. Younger generations are directly engaging with content creators, many of whom have bigger followings than any traditional media source. The days of conventional news programs are over, and the traditional journalist has lost control of the narrative.
@@scratchpenny That is true, unfortunately that generation is apparently willing to trust anyone who has internet access and a camera. which is anyone and everyone. They get confirmation bias and told what they want to hear. That is not 'news' that's propaganda and entertainment. If anyone can blather about anything, and for whatever reason get lots of people to listen, I'm pretty sure that's not going to work out well. It's as if everyone now watches a movie and thinks it's reality, then watches reality and thinks it's a movie.
I don’t accept the continuous fixation on race and gender. The fact is that Harris was simply a terrible candidate.
You are likely a white male for whom race and gender never impeded your goals in life.
I agree. It is sad and frustrating that many women cannot see beyond gender. There are larger things at stake. The US funding the genocide in Gaza for example. Our resources going to illegal immigrants. I would trade women's rights to abortion for closing our borders in a minute. Women still can't figure out how not to get pregnant? We are not children. I am female BTW.
The focus that every person must be a 'group member' and that group to be identical in every way: the same. This is the great sin of the Democrat party. To 'bucket' every single person is disgusting.
VERY FALSE. Trump was a terrible candidate. She was very qualified.

Housing is becoming unaffordable, and this has even happened in the U.S. I live in Canada and there are very few places where a house is affordable. I cannot own a house and consequently have zero housing security, I feel that intensively. Politicians, university professors, professionals, big business executives, i.e. "the elite" do not understand that and completely ignore it. I feel strongly that I have not shared in the prosperity of my country, and it's not a comfortable feeling. I intend to vote to throw Justin Trudeau out on his arse, he has set policy to destroy the middle class in Canada and could care less about average working people. He needs to go, I think Americans felt the same thing about the democrats. My two cents (although we don't use pennies in Canada anymore (they're worthless) - so my 5 cents! ;-)
She was unqualified period. The American public saw that .
A state attorney general/US Senator/Vice President is unqualified ... but a reality TV show host is qualified?
But really, do we have to have citizens rise up just to have normalcy, fairness, justice, dignity, etc? Better to vote good people in who care .
Better to get the money out of politics. Get rid of the electoral college and all the money in politics. Maybe, then, we'd have a chance at something fair and equal.

"border walls don't work" (Harris said they did not work and now pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border), "Biden is sharp as a tack" (just watch the debate, if you can stand it), there were 800,000 more jobs created than there actually were, inflation was temporary (actual 18% cumulative overall, 25% FOOD), the border is secure (actual at least 8 million illegals), Putin is the cause of inflation, the Hunter laptop was Russian, or that 1/6 was an insurrection even if not one person has been charged with insurrection...that was all Harris/Biden, and you fell for it ....Let that sink in.

She was a “rehearsed” candidate who had a difficult time honestly and clearly articulating who she is and saying what she really believes … Just to name a couple of reasons for her resounding loss.

NOBODY LIKES YOU.
The reason you're wrong is because there is no other option. You have to work with people where they are at. You are talking about approximately 50% of the country that wants to go in an entirely different direction than what the current establishment has been doing. If your idea of a solution is to isolate and shame them, they will only become more hardened against you. In my opinion, it is a big problem with the left/Democrats. You can't talk down to everyone, catastrophize everything, and expect these people to work with you. That approach will lead to more chaos and eventually violent conflict.
If you're old enough, you've lived through enough history (the three tragedies in 1968, for example) to know that it's not wearing rose-colored glasses to have some optimism about the future.
@ I’m 72. We weren’t dealing with fascists then !
Don’t cry, you will be able to vote in 2028. And the US Constitution will still be the law of the land. And we will not be a fascist nation.
She forgets to mention that Lincoln was assassinated by his enemies whom he forgave.
This woman talks too much while spouting platitudes.
How could she run a good campaign she couldn't even answer a question
Did Trump or Vance answer any questions!
Where has Kamala been for the last four years ??? She had plenty of time and chances to make a difference !!
Please. Good try on the false narrative though.
@@theresac2944where was Mike Pence for 4 yrs??? The VP is always in the background. Wake up.
Right. DKG is the right person to have on to explain how the electorate is tired of the elite establishment 🙄
Sure. Let’s ignore somebody with her experience because of vibes. Let’s have a brocaster instead.
@@nockee "Brocasters" are people who were told they were not woke enough. They were cancelled and had to find another space. Now it's, "we must censor tech."
@@nockeebrovotes destroyed you and yet you still mock us?
😂
I can't even begin to describe the level of pathetic you live on.
Are you going to try and impeach him again?
😂
Fact check her if that's what you want to do, but she has a job and she has dedicated her life to it. Makes her an academic, not rich. If you can do better than her, I'd like to see your work. If not, listen.
@@AquarianNomadicyour mocking yourself.
so tired of the race card and sexism card. Kamala was INSANELY CRINGE and ran on nothing but lies about abortion.
Wow what a smart historian. The way her thoughts come out so effortlessly is remarkable. She also seems to me an optimistic person which I find refreshing.
It seems that everyone's idea of what facts are varies depending on which side they are culturally, ideologically and politically.
And also varies depending on what is politically expedient. Like, "Biden is sharp and competent" right up to the day of the debate, then that 'fact' got flipped immediately.
Thank you, Doris, you're a treasure. I think you're one of the few who really knows what's going on. And I share your optimism that the extraordinary times into which we have plunged, may drive republican and democrat members of congress together to either promote or block certain actions, which will be essential to our survival. Many of my friends reject my suggestion that any republicans will do anything to oppose Trump, but wait and see, we may be right about this. Not much happens in congress without the Senate Majority Leader approving it and it appears that the next senator in that position is not going to be a Trump supporter. All around us, people and groups are popping up that have influence in our government and Trump will have to fight against a growing number of opponents if he tries to do wrong by our beloved country.
Low moments?
Low moments was the last 4 years for millions and millions of Americans… this democrat voted for TRUMP 🇺🇸
This lady is the LAST person to listen to. She is living in the past.
@7:20 Slavery did not end because of moral outrage. It ended because the financial benefits of industrialization outweighed an agrarian-based economy that depended on enslavement for its existence. Money not morals led to the end of slavery.
There was the Civil War somewhere in there.
Read or listen to her books... the fabric of history...
Money and greed are also how Trump the puppet and Vance the Muppet were elected. It will be a January inauguration of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
@@lindafrazier8092 The Civil War is actual history......Her books are opinion, not in any way related to history, just to be clear....
@@jonncockrell3606 Yes, but that doesn't change the premise of my point. The push towards war was over the economic direction of the country. The division that led to war was not over moral questions around slavery. Individuals may have fought for their own personal/moral reasons. But the economic factors needed for industrialization in the north conflicted with the need for slavery in south's agricultural economy.
I did appreciate her optimism!!👏👏 GOD bless her!🙏😊
I'd like to know what happened with provisional and mail in ballots.
"She ran a good campaign so far" ?!?! DKG has lost it. She must have watched the campaign as if it was a Lifetime 'woman in peril' cheesy movie. I've lost respect for Doris. She's out of touch and should be evaluated for dementia.
Anyway to contact the democrats that didn’t vote and confirm that they didn’t vote. And if they didn’t vote, why? If they did vote, what happened to them vote count? Did states make it impossible for some democrats to vote?
No, they just woke up and voted for Trump. I’ve seen a lot of people saying as much.
The citizen's already stood for a politicsl party going after their political opponent.
This is a therapy session for the liberals
They live in an Orwellian bubble.
Change your irrationality and you will see a different situation
Flagellation is such a liberal trope. The right simply don't have such moral compass and still win.
Tds😅

Doris Kearns Goodwin is on fire 🔥 today‼️ Her recall is AMAZING! I always enjoy listening to her and her wise counsel right now has helped ease the pain.
same here
Find the 20 million votes missing!!
“Get those election judges back in here! Turn those machines back on! TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK OOOOOOON!!!”
The Demonrat socialists didn't have the millions of unsolicited/indiscriminately distributed "mail-in" ballots available to them as they did in the 2020 fiasco/(S)Election to stuff into the ubiquitous "Zuckerboxes" placed overwhelmingly(90+%) in Demonrat socialist districts
don't do that
How did she run a good campaign the only answer I heard was I was born a middle class child. I love all your books
Funny how she’s only a historian for half the country 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
You mean the enemy within, right?
Peter Bechloss too is a joke. George looney Clooney said Biden reminded him of George Washington 😅
Exactly.
y u here
No. All the opposition left grew up on Doris. We just vote with the populist right now, because neocons and neoliberals are warmonger class bigots.
History has shown us that appeasement is not the solution. Never give an even break to those who will not do the same for you.
She is an outstanding historian and communicator. Excellent interview.
We will rise up against this.
With all due respect to Dr. Goodwin, how much do professional politicians, government administrators, cater to "how people feel" when what they feel is plainly delusional? Democracy isn't supposed to be a suicide pact. When do the *citizens* acquire some responsibility for informing themselves on the issues and developing some critical thinking, and not rush forward into the arms of demagogues?
This is NOT reassuring.
Excuse me, but did you LISTEN to the candidates and voters? Consistently,, Republicans and their supporters talked about REAL ISSUES, about how Democrat policies negatively affect our lives in real, tangible ways. Our desire for a prosperous economy, less crime, secure national border policy is not "nostalgia". Republican and crossover voters repeatedly gave clear examples of why we believe Trump policies worked for the 4 years during his first term, and we reasonably believe will work now.
You may not like President Trump but a presidential elections is not a contest to decide "who's nicer", it is a leadership contest. Yet all Kamala Harris and Democrat voters would talk about was their "feelings" based on their belief in Marxist and neo-Marxist (woke) ideals. And that horrible cackling laugh of Kamala Harris. A number of observers including behavior experts have concluded that her behavior while campaigning was characteristic of an alcoholic.
Her track record of career advancement based on favoritism starting with Willie Brown, of failure to handle the border security issue and failure to address policy, ACTUALLY MATTERS to American voters. Did you not hear her admit to Anderson Cooper that she finds it difficult to speak extemporaneously about policy? She consistently avoided answering specific questions throughout her campaign. She projected weakness and inexperience. For me personally, the thought of this silly woman sitting across from power-mad world leaders during critical negotiatuons was very unsettling. She is so clearly unfit for command.
Claiming Donald Trump will end democracy on his second term, after claiming it at the start of his first term, I mean, you have a credibility gap. And this idea that Jan 6 gives you a mulligan, an unarmed crowd not at all led by Donald Trump of mostly elderly people entered the Capitol Building, mostly through the opened by security doors, with no goal or objective in mind, with the only fatality being an unarmed woman shot in the face by a federal officer??? Yeah, it doesn't. You keep telling us he'll do all these things, and then he doesn't do them, and what we got was a stable economy and stable global situation. If you all keep claiming it now, if you claim there won't be another election, if you claim he'll execute all these different groups, and he doesn't, then what about JD Vance are you going to say that anybody believes?
I agree. This is not business as usual. America installed a criminal psychopath in he White House Trump has no intent to support the Constitution and democracy. I don’t think people know what they have done to all of us.
@@anng.4542 You're such a fascist.
Kidding.
😂
W are heading to a golden era of peace prosperity and reforms
Doris: I have listened to you for years and years and read your books. I admire the way you speak without saying "um" or "know what I mean." That is because what you say is what you mean. You can be trusted. Our government to be has none of those qualities and in fact strives to keep us at each other's throat. He does not want us united and does not have the capacity to even set that in motion much less follow through. Right now many of us are exhausted and need time to recover in our own ways. Then we make plans for the future, but right now we all hurt. Your recall of history is marvelous and you choose quotes with a positive message. I have never heard the orange one make a positive statement. He is sick inside and we are the audience for his acting out.
Posted without evidence but great ntolerance.
This is a democracy. The "people have spoken". Accept. Watch. Wait. It is very possible that you are mistaken.
The dems are the biggest dividers of this century . .
IT IS A MOVEMENT..!!!!
She did not ran a good campaign. She lost not because of race or gender, she lost a lot of other reasons.
'...did not _run_ a...'
Judging by your grammar, you're a trump voter.
@@AI-xs4fp The "commenter's" first language is not likely English. The mistake that "@JuanCarlosRF1" made and that I corrected is extremely common. Without going into great detail, once they've entered the past tense for "to do" i.e., _'did'_ they are going to remain in that tense to complete the thought. Again, I am not going to waste time explaining the logic and thinking behind this pattern but even the educated including those that have been around native English speaking persons for some time continue to fall victim to this "trap" .
I adore DKG but in no parallel universe do I ever want to hear an analogy about how despite the civil war in which thousands of people died, we still "came back stronger." Those who died did not come back stronger. They didn't come back at all. History is history. But I am here now and they just hung a black man in Tennessee.

Concern about the climate with a plastic cup with a plastic lid with a plastic straw sitting on your desk. How about acknowledging the plastic consumption and waste crisis that is looming over the horizon that will be affecting the future bioshere if we ignore it. How about a little activism that helps the entire species instead of presenting the problem and slapping a recycle seal on products. Call out McDonald's and purveyors if plastic waste. Plastic doesn't care if you voted Democrat or Republican
The thing that most amazes me is that so many smart. educated people have difficulty understanding the appeal of Trump to middle and lower class people. Doris Goodwin expresses it very well.
The Democrats don't need a Nobel prize winning historian. What they need is somebody well versed in the wrestling world. Someone who understands the ignorance and banality of the American South. Somebody who understands the genius of the statement they're eating the cats and the dogs and the pets of the people who live there.
Selecting specific clips to try to prove your point is exactly why the media is failing.
Arrogant condescension is one of the main reasons you guys lost. I hope you keep it up.
You are so intelligent and well educated that is all you got out of the whole pet eating thing?
How about why is the federal government supplying cheap immigrant labor to a meat packing plant. Why does the federal government think they can add 10-20% to the population of a relatively small city and not assist with city services that the newcomers will need. A smart person would ask those questions.
@@jveebklyn1644 You're on a dem-ridden forum here - you really need to lower your expectations. And they don't care about people that suffer because of their horrific decisions. Just not in their backyard and they are fine with it.
Dogs & cats were NOT being eaten. You believe tRump & his kiss ass V.P. & the rest of his yes ppl. Those ppl will not be known by tRump the second that they want to speak the truth to him. The minute they realize tRump doesn't want to understand reasoning it will be too late, he will fire them ASAP. tRump only wanted to win to stay out of prison because he's a FELON, rapist, insurrectionist & the list goes on & on. 💙🇺🇲💙
As an independent who voted for Obama and Biden and hated Trump here is why I just voted for Trump and the GOP across the bosrd. It was the economy, border security, and the woke mind virus that pushed me away from the out of touch dems. Think about that Dems. You are welcome. Im a retired history professor btw...
You mean gender identity?
Exactly right. And the Democrats position on border security and identity politics was clear.
DKG has destroyed her reputation with these lies.
I used to respect her. Now? I’d throw her books away.
I'm sure a lot of working class people had enough money to stop at a bar.
this women does not know anything about Americans
Ok dude. Does misogyny live on inside your little brain?
Please people stop using the mysogny card whenever someone criticizes a woman.
Sure there are misognysts but not everyone that criticizes a woman is mysognyst.
Talk about little brains sheesh.
@ you can’t even spell the word correctly even with spell checker!!!
This is the woman who lost her place as a Pulitzer Prize judge because she was proven to have lifted entire chunks of writing from the books of other historians and inserted them into her own books. She was disgraced as a plagiarist for this behavior, and immediately removed from media mention. She disappeared, and after a while all mention of her shameful acts stopped.
After biding her time, she came back, and has been seen in the media again. Many people don’t know about her, and this scandal was a couple of decades ago, but I believe she is still a dishonest person, and I don’t trust her.
@@suzanneemerson2625 perfect for these times of the disappearance of fact checking and lies.
Oh please. The optimism is lovely, but I can't take it seriously.
Viva Trump!!! Mexicans for Trump!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. It’s about the family, stupid!!!🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
We'll see. I'm just not sure American history has really dealt with this situation. I'm not sure MAGA is just going to leave other parties room to regroup and try again later. Maybe European history is a better guide. In my county less than 30% of registered voters cast a ballot. I'm not seeing grassroots guard rails here.
I love Doris Kerns Goodwin!
I used to....
I'm so happy that I found this video. Thank you for your wisdom!👏
She is a national treasure. We do need to get history back into our school - our kids need to learn about history. Those of us out of school should continue to study history. I suggest you start by reading her books - she makes history fun and interesting!
