Even smear tactics require a certain plausibility. When you damn someone as a big scary mega-troubling racist misogynist homophobe and he seems to any rational observer perfectly non-scary and non-troubling, eventually you make yourself ridiculous. The boy who cried "Wolf!" at least took the precaution of doing so when there was no alleged predator in view. If he'd stood there crying "Wolf!" while pointing at a hamster, he'd have been led away for counseling. That's the stage the Senate Democrats are at.
The article was pretty good and on point about how weak the Democratic party has become since (and some argue because of) Clinton, especially in terms of their ability to dig up dirt and conduct a smear campaign. Which is what wins elections in the ignorant heartland.

Nice post. Extra points for style and substance. Brilliant the way you casually insulted a huge portion of the American populace.

Why wouldn't he, the rest of the US and most of the world thinks the American heartland is full of superstitious ignoramuses that aren't more than a jug and whoop from a torch and pitchfork wielding mob.
I see no evidence to the contrary.
