democrats. we re not willing to go places we re not wanted and answer questions. what do you say to that, john? tester is exactly right and the democrats should listen to him democrats need to build out a branch of their party that connects with rural voters in red states. they needed to be focusing efforts in the middle of the country a as well as the middle class. and too often their gravitational pulses in both parties playing to the base. that s not sufficient for building the majorities the democrats need. and so they need to to be focus z like a lays are. steve bullock made the point. but john test is he the emissary of the message. democrats need to build pout red state democrats and rural state democrats to get majorities can t play to the base. what do you make of that, tester not mincing the word. toxic. he is not wrong. the reality is that what we used to be a party that had ha big
