Remember the make-up of the districts that Democrats had to defend in 2014 ... no progressive legislation was/would have been attractive to Red state voters. Now ... look at the make-up of the districts in play for 2016. They are much more sympathetic to progressive legislation, and the candidates representing that legislation. So, (hopefully, if for no other reason than to get elected/re-elected) Democrats learned from 2014 and will not run from President Obama and Democratic maneuverings.
