If Democratic candidates ran on progressive ideas on a consistent basis...

they would win more elections over time than lose. Yes, in individual elections or cycles, they would lose here and there, but over time, they would win more because their ideas would resonate with the people.

For example, if Grimes actually ran against big coal and laid out a vision for a new future for KY free of depending on coal jobs, that would resonate with that 18-22 year old who wants a future other than working in a coal mine.

Why do you think you lost in november DUmmie? BTW, Grimes was a total moron.

Considering the fact that most of the DUmp denizens complain about not having enough money and everything costing too much, my guess would be better jobs and more affordable everything else.

Of course all their re~~pro~~gressive ideas doesn't let that happen.

Little Mary Baby Fat told the citizens of her state that they were mysigonists and racists, there's precious little more "progressive" than that. Care to tell me how that worked out for her, guttersnipe?

An inadvertent disclosure of the truth. Libs run on conservative positions to get elected.

Agreed -- it worked so well in Texas, Wisconsin and Louisiana the same thinking should be EVERYWHERE!
