This is why democrats lost. They don't care what their base wants.
The republicans fear their base, the democrats loathe their base.
Republicans definitely loathe their base
Maybe, but the fear prevents them from expressing as much; they regularly change their positions and messaging to match whatever the rabid hogs that make up the core of their base are baying for.
