While the most important thing is to vote Drump out

We really need to focus on keeping the house and taking the Senate. Remove his enablers and hamstring his administration should he god forbid get reelected.
Starting with Moscow Mitch.

Both are well known due to close proximity. As far as bringing the house and Senate?

Good guess. I have no idea. All i know is control of both is vital to putting the brakes on donald if he is reelected.

Bernie scares people. Hard to convince the opposition although i am making headway. A safe bet would be Joe although that would leave the Bernie bros butt hurt and they would sit it out.

Dems need them to win. How do you bring bros along when you need them to win? No idea, their too idealistic, too committed, unable to see big picture. Flame me if you want. I couldn't care less. We all have our truth as we see it.

Have to convince people to vote blue no matter who is the nominee.

Sometimes you have to hold your nose and go with it.
I did it with Hillary as much as I hated too.

We all need to get over it and come together.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
