Score a victory for moderates

109. You are spot on

My very blue area of NJ went red for the first time last year because they felt that Hillary and the Dems were capitulating to Bernie's ideas and that, to them, meant Socialism. The hours myself and others spent door knocking only to hear this over and over again and then see it manifest itself on election night was extremely sobering.

Contrast that with last night. The NJ Dems brought in candidates with both Moderate and Progressive Democratic values that profoundly resonated with local voters. These candidates inspired many of us to get out and work hard week in and week out. The result? Our Dems swept all local races by double digits with the very voters that went the other way last year. It was amazing and a big wake up call to ignore the outside naysayers.
