      This is worth reading help understand how an important wing of the Dems think, but I strongly disagree.https://twitter.com/politico/status/870219637396582401 …

      Maybe I'm dim but wouldn't it be easier to win by recreating Obama coalition than with Obama coalition - WWC + suburban Romney voters?

      There's powerful wing of Dems that really believes 2016 Clinton coalition is still path to victory: college educated suburbanites uber alles

      Always remember: chasing some voters means ignoring or turning off others. Chasing Romney voters seemingly made Dem base less enthusiastic

          the problem is that this demographic-based view of messaging is not validated by either the political science or the social science

          the problem with HRC's message wasn't with who it targeted it was that it was largely ineffective due to incoherence w/ communicating values

          Also she won by 3 million in pop vote and lost EC by 78,000. And 46% of eligible voters didn't vote. Seems best strategy would be motivation

          Chasing white working class voters after four years of the utter depravity of the Trump administration without alienating minorities?

          Also: 2016 was the best shot Dems are ever going to get to win over Romney voters (novelty shock of Trump) & they didn't get enough.

          Plus Romney voters turned out to be partisan tax cut hunters when the chips were down. Fell in line for Trump in a big way.

          I'm more in your camp but can't also be dictated by past. Base is now energized and H was subject of 20 yr war by GOP.

          Why would you go after voters who would happily vote for Marco Rubio or any "sane" republican, rather then voters who dislike republicans?

          Base wants an Econ message, that's what they eat, not a social issues one. Obama campaigns understood that.

          I don't think the problem was the presence of social issues, but the lack of emphasis on economic ones as well.
