'If you want a friend, be one. If you want to lose a friend ignore that person,' former DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison said.
Minnesota Attorney General and former Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Keith Ellison had some strong words of advice for 2020 candidates on Tuesday: When it comes to paying attention to voters, be more like Donald Trump and less like Hillary Clinton.at an event hosted by Democrats Abroad in London, U.K.
Echoing a common critique of the Clinton campaign, Ellison asserted that part of the reason that voters felt disconnected from Clinton was because her campaign neglected voters in states that proved to be crucial, while Trump was out rallying"all the time." While Clinton has refuted criticisms claiming her performance in the three states lost her the election, Ellison maintained that there is no excuse for"just not showing up at all in Wisconsin."
"There's just no excuse for that and nobody made you do it," he continued."Bernie [Sanders] didn't stop you from going to Wisconsin and Putin didn't stop you from going to Wisconsin. How are you going to explain that? You can put it on anybody you want, but you didn't show and that's it."
