That's what pisses me off. So tone deaf. I think the author is correct that they just never think of Dem voters. Yesterday, though, Andy Beshear was on MSNOW and he kept it civil but factual. No effusive praise. He gets it. He didn't seem afraid of the voters in his red state. We need truth tellers and they are lacking among so many Dems in leadership.
