16. I may be an eternal optimist, but I think it is possible.
They have lost a large chunk of their base. If we win by a decent margin, and win seats in the House and Senate, AND if we are able to successfully take on the numerous serious problems facing our country right now, then it is possible that we can regain a long-term majority in public affiliation. In my opinion, the biggest challenge will be doing the right things once we have that majority. You know the sayings about power corrupting. It will be up to us to hold their feet to the fire and not let them screw up once we have the power.
