Democrats already won a special election in one of the reddest states in the union. And Trump hasn't significantly changed his behaviors since then.
I would be afraid the democrats would just be taken over by a bunch of corporate sell-out, milqetoast democrats, always ready to push their party further to the right to appeal to the moderates (with absolutely zero consideration for the fact that 20 years of this policy has left America with a center-right party and a completely crazy party). But it seems some candidates from the left are finally pushing back.
I think Trump was elected because the people want change and they thought Hillary was just more of the same. If they see democrats who are inspiring the people, who are standing up for the middle or lower class, who are calling out corporate greed and the oligarchy we currently have, hopefully they can win on a message of change.
Admittedly, Obama ran on a message of change and things didn't change quite as much as I'd like. I want someone who talks about change, especially economic change, and actually delivers.
