(12,265 posts)Just don't get comfortable and don't let others get comfortable either. We need to fight this like we are losing to make sure we win big. If people stay home thinking it will be a landslide she will lose! The thought of a TRUMP presidency should scare everyone into voting, but history of the Democratic party says otherwise. We get lazy when we get sure of ourselves.
VOTE!
Just think Romney's voters looked at the polls and said "we win"...needless to say that nut is not in the White House right now, thankfully. Just a reminder that polls are not gospel, especially the past couple of election cycles. I don't think they have figured out how to get around people without land lines.

And we MUST work hard to get a Dem senate or it will be too hard for Hillary to get any progressive measures through Congress at all
And we MUST elect more Dems at the local level so we have a deep bench for the future
