koan, With regard to your second paragraph I disagree with you based on my understanding of the demographics.The new women and new kids are fundamentally liberal and not a reaction to just Trump, but also the Republicans in general who are intransigent and monolithic and not going anywhere until they are defeated. My understanding of things, which I admit could be wrong, is that a good part of the Democrats victory in 2018 was not because they went too far left but that a good number of them were center/left and that is why they were able to take away so many right leaning districts from the Republicans(they matched their candidates to the districts they were running in). Look at everybody from the Democrats that won, especially in districts that were formerly Republican districts and look at those that came close to winning. Take a look at the NY governors Democratic primary in which Cuomo was in the primary with a further left leaning candidate, Cynthia Nixon(actually, I think she was listed as very progressive and far left). She couldn't win, and from memory, wasn't even close when only Democrats were voting. Hispanics, which tend to be more conservative, would either vote Republican or stay home if things went too far left. This is something that we are just going to have to disagree about.
