Somehow this is just the least surprising thing in the world Like, of course this would happen. The fact that Dems didn't do this in the YEAR Obama's nominee was stymied is insane.

Clearly the key to victory is to write off MORE regions as a total loss and withdraw everything from them. That will show people Dems honestly care about them no matter where they are, and more money will be available for key battlegrounds like LA.

Hillary barely mentioned it, and as late as October she was still pushing elderly centrist compromise candidate Garland at the same time that the Trump campaign was releasing lists of young reliable conservative judges he might pick

Shoulda nuked the legislative filibuster in 2010 instead of letting Lieberman kill the public option (j/k if that was put on the table, I'm pretty sure at least ten other ThirdWay/Clintonite/DLC turds in the Senate would've voted no).

Btw Donnelly, Heitkamp, and Manchin voted for nuke cloture. Bennet voted for the 3/5 cloture but against nuke cloture. Looks like final vote will be 55-45, 3 bad Dems in favor. But at least those bad Dems are in blood red states, Bennet went halfway--he's from loving Colorado AND not up for reelection.
