A very thoughtful commentary. This observation is not based upon a lot of data. The Dailey Reformer showed that in Minnesota the turnout for the DFL in the metro area was down. I believe that is true nationwide. Yet Republican turnout was up. For Democrats to win they need to figure out how to connect with those who used to vote for their candidates.
Most worrisome for the Dems should be that Royce White - perhaps the worst Senate candidate in my lifetime - was able to flip 29 counties against Klobuchar.
The fact that the Democratic Farmer Labor Party no longer draws the votes of farmers or laborers is another marker of these failures. Thanks, Tom.
