If you ignore them 75% of who's left want Trump impeached. 80% will never vote for him in 2020. Nearly everyone not in the 35% want Roe vs. Wade to stay law. Nearly all want sensible gun control, action on climate change and higher taxes for the rich and for corporations. If they do it right Democrats could, and should, own the 65% of America that is sane. The Repubs have made it Us vs. Them in America. The Dems should embrace this. There are more of Us.

I wish they'd just throw the gauntlet down, establish a line in the sand. You'll reach out yes....but only to the Never Trumpers, the moderate Independents. Those brainwashed into the Cult of the Deplorables are a lost cause.
