67 or Bust!

Remember this stench. If the GOP forces Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court, the Dems need to beat the drum and remind every voter of the GOP's true colors for years to come. We need to not just just take the majority in the Senate, but drive them out and get to 67 votes. The Supreme Court is no place for low life political operatives.

The good news is that Kavanaugh is deeply unpopular. The bad news is that the GOP will be unrestrained in their depravity and I'm still waiting to see just how low they can go.

If the dems can't get to 66 (or 67) even with gerrymandering, then what does that say about our electorate? I still have hope.

There are almost a dozen states that inexplicably get two senators, and are terminally stupid.

We should be able to figure out how to persuade voters to go dem. Folks are smart enough to feed themselves, you'd think we could figure out how to get them to vote in their own self-interest.
