2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAre Democrats making a mistake by singling out Trump and not focusing on the Republican Party?
A total of 469 seats in Congress are up for election in 2016. https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Congress_elections,_2016
If the Democrats gain five seats in the Senate, the Chamber is ours again.
Wouldn't it be more strategic to refer to Trump's quotes as, "Republicans say," instead of "Trumps say"?

Your point is well taken.

He IS the republican party. They support most of his bull and are either cheering him on in public or quietly hoping his rhetoric brings out the xenophobes, racists, and bigot vote.

Hillary got ahead of herself and allowed them to be discussed like rational people.
Now her talking about them feeds the msm and they breath life back into the gop
When she should be discussing policy and the differences between hers and omallys and sanders she allowed herself to be baited into an u n forced error
She forgot she is still in a primary.
