I agree that the target of any campaign should be the constituents. If you’re going to try to use the tea party for comparison it is also worth using the Obama campaign as well. I argued repeatedly that Clinton was no Barack Obama (not as insult, he was truly special), but he motivated the Democrats to vote. In 2010, the Democratic Party bailed on him, there was little enthusiasm, and the Republicans ran wild. In 2016, key Democratic strongholds in battleground states underperformed (like the Philadelphia suburbs that turned out strongly for Obama)
My initial plan would be to focus on the enthusiasm gap.

How does something like voter suppression feature in your analysis?

Words like ‘voter enthusiasm’ are nebulous at best.
