53. I am fairly sure you are wrong
Specifically, Gary Hart, a future-oriented Democrat who didn’t think labor had all the answers and championed high-tech entrepreneurship and the environment, won 26 states against Mondale in the primaries. The DLC was as much an insider effort to counter Hart, who did not join it, as it was a rebuke to Mondale. Ultimately, Hart’s front-running presidential candidacy for 1988 was brought down by a sex scandal that looks quaint today, and then non-DLCer Michael Dukakis won the nomination.
