Democrats have a very, very large problem. They've lost the center and increasingly, the Republican Party or conservative folks running as Tea Party Republican party are capturing it.
The problem for the Democrats begins when the numbers of people of a specific group they are scorning, ridiculing and spreading hate about grows too large. Their little rationalizations to justify the hate move from being tolerable and possibly believable to their own partisans to simply being unbelievable and it becomes evident they will end up ejecting the entire group with their caricatured thinking which ultimately devolves down to us versus them and they label that group a them. We've already witnessed with first with most elements of religion. Many Protestant groups have left the Democratic Part and when Bush and Republicans were making historic gains in the early to mid 00's it was in part due to capturing the majority of Catholics for the first time due in part to the religious intolerance of the Democratic party, and outright scorn pushing them out.
Well the scorn is getting louder and prouder all the time for the Democrats for a group far too large to kick out and ever expect electoral success. This time it is women. Republicans are increasingly seeing ever larger groups of women running for office and they can't all be caricatured away as self-loathing slutbag dimwits. The rift was opened when Hillary Clinton was treated so badly in 2008. In fact I would say that these large number of candidates on the Republican side might have been directly related to that. Women are increasingly leaving the Democratic "plantation." They woke up after seeing what was done to Hillary and realized their conservative positions simply weren't going to be served within that party. The Democratic parties outright sexism towards candidate Clinton overrode the scare tactics that Republicans would put them back in the kitchen barefoot.
For now, Democrats are slitting their own throats with their media allies tossing out gems like this bit. Republican candidates are too numerous so now they are all those Mean Girls.
The list and that nastiness of the claims on it is every growing. Democrats can't claim every person that disagrees with them is ignorant, hateful and self-loathing. At some point, they've got to engage or they can do for women what they did with Protestants and Catholics, lose them.

Quote:
We are in the era of Republican Mean Girls, grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant.
These women Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust with the status quo that originally buoyed Barack Obama.
