As Democrats try to win control of the White House and the Senate in 2020, they face a geographical puzzle — the path to the presidency may conflict with the one to a Senate majority.
Democrats’ best shot at the White House is to win back their old turf — the Rust Belt states heavy with working-class white voters who have become increasingly difficult to hold in the party’s tent. But the path to winning the Senate travels through what many believe is the Democrats’ territory of the future. College-educated suburbanites, young people and minorities make up the winning coalition in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina, the states where Democrats will need to pick up seats to wrest control of the Senate from the GOP.
The tensions between the two contests — the two paths to two different victories — highlight the geographic concerns that have long bedeviled Democrats. The party has successfully built support in the growing West and Sun Belt states, but not yet enough to put the fight over the Rust Belt in the rear view mirror.
“They’re kind of stuck between their past and their future,” said William Frey, a demographer at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. “It’s an interesting conundrum.” …

Meanwhile, internal Africanization is killing progressives
College-educated suburbanites, young people....
So dumb white ####s.
Can we just call them dumb white ####s from now on?
ROFL!!
If that happens, good luck FR, and fare thee well!!!
JK :)
I wonder what the “College-educated suburbanites” (millenials) will think of the democrat candidates plans, per the “climate change” debate, about doing away with electrical power producing facilities, except for wind and solar???
What will that do for their I-pods, I-pads, I-phones, I-whatever else I’s that they can’t live without???
You take all their fun electric “toys” away and you’ll see the biggest riot ever all over the country...
“College educated”
College indoctrinated is more accurate.
You are right.
But this is a generation that doesn’t look one day ahead and feel entitled to not have to look one day ahead.
And boy will they be in for a surprise when we older folks aren’t around to vote them out of trouble.
College indoctrinated. Fixed it.
Yeah you did.
Its getting to be AGAINST the child’s best interest to cart them off to college these days
That’s the truth!!!
You know, they probably are all cheering for the removal of those power producing facilities and it hasn’t crossed their precious little minds yet that they would lose those toys...LOL
DEPOPULATE commies, collectivists, clintons, creeps, dirtbags, decevers, gropers, gangsters, liars, looters, punks, progressives, socialists, scumbags, tyrants, totalitarians, etc., etc. from the body politic.
Adios democrats. Yo time is up. We’ll be better without you.
Sun belt, Rust belt...I’m betting they go with
the Boob belt!
You KNOW the LIEberals are going to LIE, cheat, steal, and do everything within their power to mamipulate and force the vote for the 2020 election so they win!
They will be cheating in every district at every polling place, and will generate as many fake votes that they can get away with fabricating!
Look out Republicans! Here the LIEberals come a cheating!
Maybe they should try a Suicide Belt...................
I think back to the time in 2008 when we imagined Obama and the DNC minions were the worst of the worst.
This new batch of Stalinists puts them to shame. They may well spark a shooting War if they get in power. They have already breached the Wall of Sanity.
They do seem intent, too bad there aren’t any moderate
liberals left to do an intervention...
Consistency would require no air travel for the liberal enclave wokeness elite either.
Only thing, when it comes to things that effect them like electronic crap and international travel, they will dream up some reason to exempt themselves - “educational” probably, or “promoting diversity”.
I guarantee you that only the deplorables will have to sacrifice for “the earth”.
