    Good. I don't get why McCaskill doesn't understand that these working class fears she speaks of are usually driven by racism. If the Dems are going to appeal to Missouri voters they're going to have to go all in on racial resentment and scapegoating of the threat du jour (immigrants, blacks, gays...it changes every year).

      The top of the national ticket shouldn't appeal to those seeking free everything. Healthcare coverage is enough.

      On the other hand, we don't really care about where McCaskill wants to direct the party either. We need to understand the difference between La Crosse and Springfield. La Crosse voted for Obama. Springfield settled for Romney after David Duke decided not to run...but Trump is more its taste.

          AOC and McCaskill both have something critically wrong, which is that there is any way to appeal to Republican voters. There isn't unless the GOP candidate is buggering underage children (see Moore, Roy). McCaskill is thinking the party can speak to their concerns but it can't unless screwing over non-whites is part of the official Dem party platform. AOC is wrong in thinking that economic populism will turn these voters into Dems. It won't. Missouri voters could very well vote for a higher minimum wage or legalized weed or Medicaid expansion, but they're still going to turn around and vote Trump because he's promising to bring back the 1950's complete with the bigotry and voter suppression.

            Agree across the board. Would rather McCaskill didn't go there...she looked bitter - which is not the tone the party wants to send - and gave the right cred in terms of criticizing the 'extreme lefts take over of the Dems'.

                        Not quite:

                        Sincere whites have everything in common with minorities - but neither have much in common with whites that are against minorities.

                        The average rich and poor have more in common which each other - than either do with those that bribe the rich to screw the poor.
