Hopefully we learned our lesson about people like James Comey. StevieM Jun 2020 #7

I totally disagree that Comey only cost us 1 percent. StevieM Jun 2020 #39

But, since we lost by less than 1% in 3 states, trump would have lost if people hadn't stayed home, Hoyt Jun 2020 #44

And that is the point...we could have won. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #61
