That simple. The Democrats have no good ideas to offer and people are sick of the spending. From The New York Times:
Liberals Wanted a Fight in Montana. Democratic Leaders Saw a Lost Cause.
The Democratic defeat in a hard-fought special House election in Montana on Thursday highlighted the practical limitations on liberal opposition to President Trump and exposed a deepening rift between cautious party leaders, who want to pick their shots in battling for control of Congress in 2018, and more militant grass-roots activists who want to fight the Republicans everywhere.
Rob Quist, the Democratic nominee in Montana, staked his campaign on the Republican health care bill, but he still lost by six percentage points, even after his Republican opponent for the state’s lone House seat, Greg Gianforte, was charged with assaulting a reporter on the eve of the election.
The Dems need to go back and read that Fred Reed rant I posted a couple hours ago. The smart ones might learn something.
