We are absolutely doomed. Goldens crossover appeal is enormous. If he’s losing, god help us
Or....it turns out that fundamentals matter and Democrats were not actually going to win a Trump+6 seat while losing several Biden+7-15 seats.
No, there's no recent precedent (if there is one at all) for the Democrats' total inability to appeal to anyone who voted for a presidential candidate of the opposing party. This is an issue of the national party's platform being completely rotten to the core in the eyes of half the country. This is the consequence of the Dems' decision to eliminate persuasion from their strategy and focus solely on turning out the people that already like them.
You have got to be kidding me with this. And the GOP is trying to do this?
They are. They're much better lately at centering their campaigns around issues that people are currently worried about. They also have been smart about expanding their propaganda into communities they used to be really weak in, like hispanic areas. The Democrats don't do this, at least not that I have seen.
