Stacey Abrams showed that Democrats can—and must—craft messages and policies that resonate with voters of color and infrequent voters AND with swing voters in order to win elections across the country and retake the White House in 2020, @MKHolloman_ says

A blueprint for Democratic victory in the South

Stacey Abrams upended traditional methods of running campaigns in reliably red states — 2020 Democrats should do the same.

Take a look at the disparity between policy beliefs held by Tweeters vs the actual Democratic primary electorate... This is why Dems can't afford to be hypnotized by the Twitter primary if they want to win in 2020.

Four years ago, Bernie Sanders won 151,584 votes in the NH primary—his best primary state in total votes and winning percentage other than VT. Last night he eked out just 72K votes. But MoMENtuM??? Look closely: it's moving in the wrong direction. 🧐 #thread

If Sanders is starting a revolution, he should do better than he did last time when he lost the nomination by 3.8 mill votes. If results read live on CNN by @EvanMcS are final, Bernie got 590 votes in Nashua Ward 3--that's 329 votes less than his 2016 performance (919).
