The problem is the whole nation, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians,, politics matters not a whit, is surfing on the deadly rocks, no sand beach ahead for us, unless that wave, and the horrible terrain beneath which forms it, is gone forever. In EVERY segment of American government, all agencies, the courts, the worst of the worst are running the show to wipe out 200 years of progress. Not just “Obama stuff”, but everything that makes America, America, is at risk.
The Democrats have turned Virginia blue – thanks to Trump. There are a lot more signs of anti-Trump Democratic backlash than Tuesday’s election. We didn’t know before the election what would happen on the night of the election, so let’s not have too much confidence about what will happen a year from now. Trump was the cause of the Tidal Wave of democratic wins on Tuesday. The Republicans have not gotten anything done. This has been a do-nothing Republican Congress. They’ve controlled all of Washington. They’ve delivered nothing. I don’t know that that played really big in the statewide races across the country. What didn’t work were the Donald Trump style attacks. They offend two-thirds of Americans, they offend women, they offend a lot of independents.
Donald Trump was the cause of the tidal wave. He was the earthquake that caused this tsunami. Now Republicans, not that they would come out and trash Trump, are politely brushing away the questions. But there is no doubt behind the scenes Republicans are fretting, because they know unless they are in a dark red district in 2018, this is going to happen to them.
Democrats need to start embracing progressive ideas or they should just go away. McConnell was very unpopular in his last re-election, and his opponent Alison Grimes said things like “I love guns; I love coal” rather than talking about jobs that would be created by renewables that coal miners could be trained for. As much as I dislike McConnell, why would anyone vote for someone else if they are saying the same things and McConnell can bring more pork back to KY.
The Dems need a message that reaches the people about what the people care about, their future, their children’s education and Welfare, their Healthcare, their jobs, their taxes, their towns, their infrastructure, their clean water, their clean air. Is there going to be a future for their children and their grandchildren? Are their children and their grandchildren going to be able to find jobs in their town? People don’t want the Republicans brand of corporate Donor branding. The Republicans just don’t care about anything but money coming to them from their donors. The people are starting to realize this.

Don’t get overconfident. That fake ferret could still turn around and try to bite.

If they had run on Trump they would have won. All you Republicans who are running, remember to campaign on Trump and you will win.

^ Is that the terrorist organization that recruits young men, radicalizes them, and teaches them how to kill?
