Unfortunately his base would still vote for him if he did "shoot someone on 5th AVE".
What we are really seeing is white anxiety over times changing. The same fear was on display when women fought for the right to vote, and when Martin Luther King Jr lead the civil rights movement.
The GOP has been great at exploiting this fear in middle America. The way to undermine this tactic, if for dems to not only appeal to urbans, and suburbans, but to expand the map to middle America and the rust belt states, and tell them they are getting just as screwed as dems are. If we focus on the GOP continuing to try to gut social security and medicare, and point out every time jobs get lost, that can be enough to bridge the gap.
The point isn't to appeal to 45's base, they are too far gone. But we still are in a position, see Beto and Stacy, even though they lost, came closer than anyone expected in two southern states. That can be enough to swamp 45 in places like Ohio and Penn and Fla. Mind anyone reading this, i am not telling anyone who to vote for in the primaries. I am merely saying whomever we nominate, that should be the tactic of the entire party.
