(3,179 posts)but I've come here for some healthy debate in an effort to give some ideas on how to improve of Democratic numbers.
You see, early on (50 years ago) I learned that politics is less about philosophy and more about math. I learned there is only winning and losing, and margins are not that significant (ask Al Gore or Hillary). Some of our best Presidents won by a whisker (Jefferson, Lincoln and Kennedy).
I have trouble with this Democratic victory lap when we lost the House. sure, we did better than expected, but when you are on the right side of history, you should win outright. the analogy I will use here do describe my feelings is like a football team that goes into a game as a 12-point underdog and losses by 3 points. you still get the L instead of a W. They still have the gavels and that sucks.
