So I waited until the dust settled after the TN election to suggest this, but....

37. Progressive Democrats should definetly run ...

But it's up to the party members to select the most ELECTABLE candidate -- not necessarily the one they like the best.

If you don't win -- nothing else matters.
There is no such thing as a moral victory ... it's just another loss.

I watched this happen in Fla as few years back. We had a great candidate, Gwen Graham, moderate, not really exciting ... but a solid democrat.

She would have beaten DeSantis by 15 points and probably served two terms and the party could have used that time to build the state party infrastructure.

Instead she lost the primary to Andrew Gillum: Lost the GOV race, lost pretty much every other statewide race, party in shambles.

Sanders would never get elected if he talked about hating Vermont!

Ms Behn was a great primary candidate but a terrible general election candidate. Her well-publicized statements about Nashville should have been disqualifying.
