I'm off this weekend but this earlier column can serve as my contribution to the great Twitter debate over whether alienating @BretStephensNYT and @nytdavidbrooks is bad news for the Democrats:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/25/opinion/sunday/how-liberalism-loses.html …

The truth is that Dems did both kinds of outreach pretty successfully in House races in 2018, which is why so much of the caucus now consists of the moderates who voted for the border deal and not AOC types.

But almost all the presidential contenders are running leftward of the House moderates on both social and economic issues. That poses a challenge for the party's chances to reclaim the White House and the Senate. About that much, my colleagues are (obviously!) correct. /finis

You ignore that HC had a history that made her untenable to a large portion of (R) Regardless of outreach. Voting for a dumpster fire of a person because HC didn’t reach out is just plain letting the (R) voters off the hook. They could have stayed home but they swarmed the polls.

What should be obvious is a Joe manchin type could beat Trump I think easily. All the Liberals would be forced to vote for him and he would draw significant numbers of those who settled for Trump

No urban voters are going to vote for a Joe Manchin type, and such a candidate would have zero chance of winning. If the base stays home, Trump wins,

Dude, don't talk about WV. This state is unique and its politics do not apply elsewhere. I live here and am not from here so I see it.
