Donald Trump has a mantra of despair, of loss. He says we don't have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't. And he says the American dream is dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe our inability to achieve victory stems mainly from having lost sight as a nation of what it means to win.
For members of the Democratic Party, and progressives all over the world, it is difficult to overstate or hyperbolize the despair and dread that has descended upon them in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump.
Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever.
If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
Donald Trump is already losing badly to Hillary Clinton. He is a weak candidate, and he's performing that way.
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
I always feel that there are no final victories and no final defeats. But it's true that America is in a hole right now. There are a lot of dead fish in the water.
The American dream is dead for the majority of America.
You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction.
The U.S. is an optimistic nation. No candidate has ever won the American presidency by speaking primarily to people's deepest fears and by manufacturing a sense of apocalypse - that our leaders 'can't do anything right,' that things are utterly falling apart.
