I cannot imagine Dump winning the election next time out. I'm factoring in the Russians, the gerrymandering, voter purges and any other dirty tricks the GOP has up it's sleeve.
It's unfathomable.

(804 posts)It seemed inconceivable to me then, and I'm not about to be shocked like that again. Hope is not a strategy.

(430 posts)yes, but a minority. 25-35% would be in the really like him category.
IMHO, the "win" was the outcome only because of cheating. Our side got a really big majority of the popular votes.
Sure, they will try to steal the action again, seems the only way that party can elect a lot of. their candidates.
I take great hope with our.victories in the mid-terms, and am really enthusiastic about a lot of our representatives.

(57,083 posts)worse - if too many don't vote because Trump can't win even if he doesn't all the down ballot Democrats lose. I know Donald Trump will lose even if he's not in jail by then but I am voting for whichever of the the solidly gifted candidates we chose to field and I am voting to give that POTUS (whoever Democrat it may be) the best Senate and Congress, state legislature, city council, mayor and dogcatcher I can.
To do that we need to get out the vote like Trump or Pence is a shoo in if we don't vote. Cuz its happened before.

I still don't think he'll even be on the ticket.
