Julian Zelizer : Can Democrats offer a saner alternative to Donald Trump ? He says many Democrats blame everything but their own failure to make a convincing case to voters.

Democrats were seen as defending a status quo inimical to working families’ interests and values, he says.

Democrats have dug themselves in a very deep hole and must change dramatically, Zelizer says.

Will Marshall: Democrats must draw up a new governing blueprint that centers on America ’s non-college majority.

Democrats must show they get how those voters feel and what matters to them.

They must offer concrete remedies to the problems working families define as urgent, rather than the post-material preoccupations of progressive elites.
