(32,314 posts)The narrative matters.
Well I think we should point out that people are unhappy with Trump, for certain. And, Republican cowards in congress should start to distance themselves if they're smart. But, they're not so....

(7,046 posts)Way too early for that. This is an off-year, no mandate given. But, tonight's results are a good indicator of how the midterms are going to go, ad that brings up another topic, knowing that Trump will try to steal that election in every possible way he can try.
So we need to stay vigilant. Because Republicans wlll cheat every way they can think of.
