ONE Suburban Problem

GOP Struggles in Affluent Suburban Neighborhoods

The Republicans now have exactly two years to figure out hoe to cut down Democrat margins in suburban America. One lesson from last night's Democrat Blue Wavelet is that the GOP hasn't figured out that cities and suburbs are growing and winning elections won't get any easier if they continue to just ignore what makes college educated suburban women happy politically.  Three losses in Virginia, two in Florida, and most likely one in Texas could all be reversed if Republicans could just stop motivating these voters for Democrats.  And there's probably several more House districts that could have been salvaged if Republicans could just figure out how not to Get-Out-The-Dems- Votes.
How in the world did Donna Shalala, a white, Midwestern octogenarian defeat Maria Elvira Salazar by multiple percentage points?  She and her party knew what would fly and what wouldn't in the Miami area district.  And the Democrats were serious about winning there.
