If Democrats want to limit effectively Republican rural advantage, then
they should try to present a face so that enough independent minded rural folks would be willing to step out in the snow for them.

I do agree with you somewhat on the downfall of the "Clinton Machine" since people do get irked when not given choices.
As for both parties, they operate on the extremes. The GOP is more effective in energizing their voters on topics like Religion, Abortion, Race, LGBT etc. to get them to vote for them while they impoverish their electorate. The Dem's OTOH have gone away from bread and butter issues. They have no message and part of the problem is that we have brain dead people like Feinstein, Pelosi and Schumer that have no new ideas since they are incapable of thinking anymore. Similar to the Utah moron Orrin Hatch who claimed that the Trump presidency is going to be one of the greatest ever; does he not know that Trump's approval ratings are in the gutter?
Perhaps future aspiring Democrats will follow the Doug Jones model and get elected through grass roots movement at the local level than be beholden to the national party.
