The future of the Democratic Party has been booking late-night TV gigs, waking up for morning drive-time radio and showing up at watering holes in rural counties to try out new material. “The season hasn’t opened.”At stake in the rehearsals is nothing less than the future of the Democratic Party, which has yet to congeal around a positive vision. Some promote a vision of a youthful future, while others speak of their own wizened experience. Some use the language of the private sector, while others have begun to promote guaranteeing public-sector jobs for all unemployed Americans. Some are brawlers ready to take on Trump, while others pose as healers to call the country back to better angels.
