Honestly, the Dems could teach a class on how to lose an election. THIS was such an insane misstep. I know what they were going for. It was the "BIG SCORE," it was the "Look, look who we have, look who crossed to our side...THESE folks!"

They thought it would be convincing. What it came off as to regular people on the ground was more of the same, elites backing elites. The Dems have lost touch with their base.
