    Reassembling Obama's coalition looks like an easy path to 300+ EVs. Going after GOP voters instead would be a quick way to break it apart.

        In 2000 all Al Gore had to campaign on was he was Bubba, but less horny. How’d that work out?

        Clinton and Biden couldn’t. They both ran for president in 2008 and lost to Obama. Their own views and values are just too far out of line with the mean Obama-voter

        This is exactly what Hillary did in the general; she went after non-existent "moderate" republicans and broke the Obama collation. That plus Russia and Comey made the difference.

        3. “For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” Chuck Schumer, 2016. Didn't work out that way!

        Yeah, arguing that pandering to never-Trumpers is the path to victory requires either ignoring that Ds tried that in 2016 or arguing that the only issue with it was that they tried it with a candidate who Rs had been brainwashed into thinking was Literally Satan for 24 years.

        Dems have been a coalition party for a long time. The coalition has historically included WWC voters & must continue to because they are so numerous & broadly distributed. But keeping majority coalitions together is tougher than Trump’s base-only, rig the rules approach.

        Huge difference betw appeasing the upper-middle-class, disenchanted cons Never Trumpers & keeping WWC voters in the Dem fold, esp the non-evangelicals & those in non-slave South states. Never Trumpers were always GOP for a reason. Those WWC folks were Dems & can be again.

        Genuinely curious as to your thoughts about how the 2018 results where dems did pick up moderate Republicans with 2016 shows wether targeting the suburbs is the future
