You’re extrapolating your experience in Nebraska to the entire country. I don’t think that’s accurate. The Democrats are trying to move the needle where they think they can move it.

Exactly. The Democrats are concentrating on the states they already hold, and are uninterested in moving the needle anywhere else.

The mid-continent states used to be all Democratic strongholds. They are no longer. Look at Kansas and Gov. Sam Brownback,

His policies have destroyed the economy of that state. What has the Democratic Party done to capitalise on that? Zip. Nothing. The party literally does not care about it.

Kansas should be a simple pick up. The Democrats are spending no time there.

And you know what? Voters notice that. Kansas will never have a Democratic governor again in my lifetime, because despite the economic destruction wrought by the GOP, the GOP makes the effort in Kansas to appeal to the voters. The Democrats? Bupkis.

Here? The state governor recently campaigned for Mr. Trump here in the Panhandle. No governor has come to the Panhandle in decades.

No Democratic state legislator bothered to come out here. None.

What the hell am I supposed to do? Even my county party won’t talk to me (the chair is eighty-eight and has cancer, the vice-chair is eighty-seven). We had a person who recently moved here from New York City, trying to inspire the state and national parties and became our county party treasurer, and they ignored him too.

After three years, he left the Democrats. He is now an independent.
