Democrats Have a Common Sense Problem

Ruy Teixeira: “The Democrats are bleeding voters, particularly working class voters of all races. There are lots of reasons for this and I’ve written about some of them. One important through-line here is what we might call the common sense problem. As in, Democrats seem to have abandoned it in many areas.”

“This helps explain why there hasn’t been a ‘Trump disenchantment dividend’ for the Democrats as the former President’s popularity has fallen and for that matter a “nutty GOP politicians” dividend as various Republican pols do and say fairly crazy things. Voters just aren’t sure the Democrats are that well-grounded either.”
