That was the wording of a link on Drudge today about some election in Georgia, I guess. You can read it if you want to but I didn't.
Dems have no idea how to win in an age of Trump...

Am I the only one who thought, "yeah, Republicans too"?

Until the Ds figure out that working class people matter, and matter more than climate change and transsexual bathroom rights...

IMHO, Jim Webb could have undercut much of Trump's support with the military, and, his platform would have been a perfect opportunity for the Democrat party to reconnect with its working-class roots.

This is basically why when I saw the headline on Drudge that I thought it also referred to Republicans.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06 ... -plan.html
The 4 key Republicans includes Rand Paul whom I respect and even voted for his Dad in a primary which was the last vote I ever cast before voting for Trump. But what I think the father taught the son that might not have been so good is the idea that the perfect can be the enemy of the good. AKA "you can't always get what you want".
