I figured there was enough anger that we’d actually BEAT that, but we’re not even close.

This feels more like a blue puddle.

Obama passes a health care bill and pays basically 3X the price as Trump who is obviously a demented crook.

We only learn the hard way.

but remember the House is so gerrymandered that even without voter suppression we have to win by 7-8% just to hold the majority. I found the high profile Senate and governor losses more discouraging.

No question we have a lot of work to do.
