a majority of Democrats in the Senate. That's looking pretty good right now, isn't it? I thought it looked pretty good last year, too.

I imagine that a lot. I imagined that as the November election approached last year. Sadly, too few Democrats showed up at the polls, so that situation remains an imaginary one.

GOTV, folks! GOTV!

2. We should brace for strong Republican turnout in 2018 and 2020

I am confident that a great many allegedly remorseful Trump voters will get over their sorrow long enough to vote Red again, and all of the non-regretful voters will cast their ballots all the more enthusiastically.

3. That can only be countered by massive turnouts on our side.

There is reason to hope, but 2018 is a long way off.

6. I don't think we should wait around. That never works.

We need to start right now - today. We need to build the Democratic Party back up into a vibrant functional voice for the people. That's hard work. If we wait, there won't be time to do that.

8. Also very true. (nt)

Scoundrels.
