    Why are Democratic political consultants so wedded to the idea of winning over suburban Republicans despite repeated failures?

        Because they feel like they were (or could have been) suburban Republicans who were won over by just the right kind of argument.

        I think it’s more that the trend lines are in the right direction, esp after VA and AL. Also a lot of Republicans are stopping to id as such

        They're afraid to go into the "bad" neighborhoods, yet that's where they could easily find support.

        they want to win over their neighbors/friends. Those are the people they are in closest contact with, those are the people they know are "good people at heart"

        No, stupid take. Chasing rural whites is a waste of time and resources. Education has become the great divide of modern politics.
