      1. Democratic leadership class remains committed to the idea that the future of the party is with suburban Republicans. I have my doubts.

      2. Pursuit of suburban voters precedes Trump, was tried in 2014 & 2016 with little success.

      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!

          Dem campaigns can raise more money from big donors by targeting suburban Republicans than from any lower income group.

          This is not binary. Given differences b/t electoral college for prez, gerrymandering, pop vote for rest, needs to be race by race

          Seems to me that your analysis fails to take adequate account of the distortions caused by Hillary Clinton being the candidate. Sadly, she has been tarred by GOP attacks for so long she simply could not attract sufficient moderate Republicans and independents.

          A progressive open to dialogue with centrists, who lacks the baggage of either a Clinton or a Sanders, should do well in suburbs – especially after the implications of this tax bill hit home.

          Here’s a completely ridiculous idea: how about a strategy centered around expanding voting rights, fighting voter suppression, and making sure the Democratic base turns out in record numbers? Just spit balling here.

          If Doug Jones pursues a Republican agenda, he won't be returning to office as a Democrat?
