The Republicans play the long game so much better. They build from the ground up. They will beat us bloody in 2018, 2020, and probably 2022. It takes years to built a brand and an effective messaging apparatus. To have any chance we have to start local and build UP.

we gained 15% of the vote share, mostly moderate Republicans, in this election tonight. Once the Dumpster gets to about 31% popularity, you will see Dem wins as large as 2006 and 2008. Those voters back then haven't all disappeared or anything. They just cannot admit they screwed up......yet.
