    They listened to their voters. It was a primary election. Not sure what the disconnect is here unless its your fantasy disconnected with reality.

      The disconnect is obvious to me, but to spell it out: They were terrible candidates that the majority of General Election voters didn’t want. Those voters made that quite clear before the primaries, and were ignored. Then the Primary Election voters got behind the bad choice anyway.

      But General Election voters had already abandoned the Democrats, and rightfully so. The Primary Vote was only among those that were willing to vote for whatever terrible candidates the DNC pushed on them.
