LIZ SHELD’S MORNING BRIEF: The Morning Briefing: Some Democrats Try and Moderate and Much, Much More. “The Democrats are trying to moderate in time for the midterm elections but they are not well-positioned to do so. Their base is fired up against Trump, but the rest of the voters are turned off by the Democrats extreme political views. So if they tune down their rhetoric, the nutters won’t be motivated to show up at the polls, but if they don’t tone it down the rest of the voters won’t show up. What to do?”

“Lose” has a nice ring to it.
