Fecal matter obeys gravitational imperatives.
It has been the Democrats’ own fault for not developing a farm team, grooming some former military officers, choosing good solid candidates in the “safe” districts and promoting them on a national scale, and doing the ground game in those districts where they already had a good relationship.
Instead, they jumped in to recruit from some very SMALL constituencies, making them their public face, rather than treating them like the props they are, and widely ignored the larger core groups, assuming, “Where else will they go?”
Stay home, or turn to Bernie Sanders, that’s where they went. And they never came back.
