I don't understand this Rust Belt over Sun Belt strategy. Doesn't it make more sense to campaign for a region of the country that's most likely going to have a dynamic economy and substantial diverse population growth, instead of one that literally has the word "rust" in the title?
To use a great comparison somebody once had about something else, it seems like the Democrats would be shutting down Netflix in order to save Blockbuster.
Cuz any path to a Senate majority still goes through the Rust Belt even if NC, GA, and AZ were to get you to 270.
Obviously, but I've read countless arguments that make it sound like the only way for the Democrats to get out of the wilderness is to campaign exclusively on making Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania et al Safe D again. Why not focus more on Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and even strategize longterm goals for (gasp) Texas?
