We need a fiscally moderate, socially liberal globalist, who can win....the Philadelphia suburbs.

Already ran that candidate last year.
Clinton might have been that candidate, but she certainly didn't run as one.

Is email/Comey/Russia/better campaign stops the reason Democrats have only 15 governorships, 6 triumvirates, total control of only 12 state legislatures?

It's funny how we keep being told we need to run more centrist trash because only they can win yet they're losing all over the place on state level
State politics always swings against the party in control of the white house, and Dems will probably pick up several governorships and legislatures in 2017-18

The Democrats in their current form only stand to pick up a handful of state legislatures....Lower house in Michigan, Upper house in Maine...maybe flip Minnesota

Other than that...rural areas loath the current Democratic party and that makes flipping statehouses almost impossible

Very true.  Just exactly how did that loathing come about?

A party run by a liberal elite who are to the left on social issues yet to the right on economic issues. A party made up of people who are giddy at signing free trade agreements that drain rural America yet simultaneously force contentious social issues like gay marriage, abortion, etc... down peoples throats.

See, you can get away with, in rural areas, being far left on economic issues and being left on social issues. Just look at George McGovern, Carl Albert, Wilbur Mills, etc... but rural people cant stand someone who's to the right on economic issues and to the left on social issues
You do know that not everything can be blamed on "people disagree with me." Fact is, extremist candidates decrease turnout. The Democrats who have come closest in special elections have both been Clinton supporters. The consensus on both free trade and gay marriage is strong, and ignoring that to chase after populists isn't a winning strategy.

He clearly fears the all-powerful Paula Jean Swearengin.

Manchin personally contacted & did an interview with TYT & said he wanted to come back again. Sanders won every country in WV. Despite some Trump/Sanders voters, Sanders remains pretty popular. So Manchin will make some overtures to the left.
40% of Sanders primary voters wouldn't have voted for him in a general election. He won because of protest votes, no more.

Bernard Brother Rob Quist overperformed Clinton by like 16% or something. Meanwhile the 30,000,000 spent on Jon Ossoff translated into the dweeb polling, what, like a decimal better than Hillary in GA-06? 
Quist ran against a guy who beat up a reporter and a libertarian third party and couldn't come within 5 points.

Quist ran a great campaign considering Montana voted for trump by 20 points not to mention its debatable whether or not he would have lost if so many people hadn't early voted before gianforte's scandal
Gianforte had just lost a statewide race.

Against an incumbent well loved Governor
That's still not an accomplishment.
