with a thousand obstacles stacked against us, because it obscures the bottom line: When we work, we win... When we get out our vote, we win... I guess the better sports analogy would be a 20-point underdog in football winning on the road -- You think they give a shit if they only won by a couple of points? On two major stages the heavily-favored Trump-endorsed candidate has lost and I see no reason why we can't keep this trend going... And yes, Ted Cruz should be shitting his pants about now...

End of story...

EDIT: We all know the Patriots are cheats; it's just not something we're allowed to discuss on DU
