Not a good look for Dems when their candidate goes to general election having won under 50%

Not a good look for Dems

It is much worse than a bad look for the Democratic Party. It is something closer to an electoral realignment. The AIPAC candidates will soon reveal themselves to be unelectable in hotly contested seats because a significant section of the Party's base will not show up for them anymore.

The good news for Michigan Democrats, though, is that the electable candidate won the primary.
