Susan J. Demas : From the high desert to the Great Lakes , Democratic U.S. Senate candidates say “bipartisan” over and over again.

She says Democrats are saying they're bipartisan in the hope of localizing their race and quarantining it from Great Big Things that voters don't like.

Demas says there are a lot of reasons for Democrats to campaign as bipartisan-friendly.

Republican Senate candidates could try to make an attempt to reach beyond the Trump base.

Promising to work across the aisle, to cooperate, to compromise, could turn off the very base they’ve been relying on all along.

Trumpism is about crushing the other side in humiliating defeat. Punishing the “unhumans” who disapprove of Trump and Trumpism .
