[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His Party Reeling, a Democratic Senator Tries a Message of Hope in Iowa
Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona won his seat last year by outperforming national Democrats among Hispanic voters and men. He wants the party to listen to his message as it regroups.

Since outperforming his party in Arizona and winning a heavily contested Senate seat last year, Ruben Gallego has pushed national Democrats worried about their electoral futures to absorb his advice: Reach beyond the voters you’re comfortable with and make inroads with the ones you’ve left behind.

With Congress in its August recess and his calendar open, he has followed his own guidance, taking his message to Iowa, where members of his party have lost considerable ground.

A Marine veteran who spent 10 years in the House before winning his Senate race, Mr. Gallego, a 45-year-old Democrat, outperformed his party’s presidential ticket in Arizona last year among key groups that it struggled with, particularly Hispanic voters and men.

To hear Mr. Gallego tell it, his trip was meant to spread the lessons of his victory with Iowa Democrats, who have watched their state shift from political battleground to Republican stronghold but are hoping to pick up seats in next year’s midterm elections.

Then he stood in front of a favorable crowd of about 200 Democrats receptive to his attacks against the Trump administration and the bill to cut taxes and spending that Republicans passed this year.[/quote]

Good luck to him. Van Jones tried talking sense to the Party but they did not listen. The Party believes it knows better than its supporters about what their supporters need and want. Anyone who disagrees is silenced and gets us MAGA. The not good news for the Party is that MAGA ai also eating its own people. [/quote]
