The Drive to Elect Women Is Defining 2018's Democratic Primaries

[RandySF]

Most analysis has framed this year's multitude of Democratic primaries as struggles for the soul of the party between moderate, "handpicked DC" candidates and left-wing "insurgents" in the Bernie Sanders mold. On May 15, former Democratic Rep. Brad Ashford (NE-02) was upset by pro-single-payer non-profit executive Kara Eastman. This week, DCCC-hyped Lexington Mayor Jim Gray lost the KY-06 primary to former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath.

But there may be something much simpler and more powerful than ideology at work here: Democratic primary voters' intense desire to nominate women in 2018.

If House Democrats are ultimately successful in November, 2018 might be remembered as the "Year of the Angry College-Educated Female" — a reversal of the 1994 GOP revolution's "Year of the Angry White Male." The April NBC/WSJ poll found that just 27 percent of college-educated women approved of President Trump, while a massive 72 percent disapproved (compared to 48 approval/47 disapproval among non-college men).
