When will Democrats learn that if people have a choice between Republicans and Republican-lites, they'll just vote for the real deal, especially if they're in the Deep South where white supremacy still reigns.
Landrieu was the last Democrat standing in the deep south. Now, every governor is Republican, and every US Senate seat is occupied by Republicans, which must mean the South is poised to rise again.History not repeating but rhyming?

Blaming it on racism and the "Southern Strategy" is a cop-out. The South has always been racist, and yet they voted for progressive populists like Huey Long and for a liberal like LBJ.
I remember my racist Louisiana relatives supporting LBJ, even AFTER LBJ PASSED THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. At that time, Democrats were perceived as the party that stood up for the working class.
Now Democrats are perceived as the pro-Wall Street party that wants to take your guns.
The toxic O-Care legislation was also a big issue in the 2014 elections. O-Care was the 2nd dumbest thing Democrats have ever done (the most dumbest thing was taking an anti-gun stance).
