Identity politics...

The Clintons have official surrogates playing the gender card, race card, anti-youth card, etc. It might win the nomination, but they will not win a general election without Millenials or liberals (certainly not without white liberals to be specific).

Reminder that the primaries so far have seen stronger turnout for Republicans than Democrats. You won't win a general election by repeatedly insulting core constituents in the Democratic Party. All you do is disenfranchise them from the process entirely, which makes it easier for the GOP to win.
