(32,017 posts)First, let me thank you for the reply.
Second, let me thank you for acknowledging that your frustrations are not solely focused on liberals. That makes me feel a lot better.
Third, I agree that there's a chance the R's will re-take the Senate. Not sure what to do about this, but I doubt that DU debates and discord will affect the outcome. It's tempting for those of us on the left to argue that, had President Obama decided to govern as a liberal, we wouldn't be in this position, but who knows? Perhaps we would be. Perhaps not. Impossible to say.
Fourth, as for Hillary, I think she will run. Whomever we nominate, however, has a very good chance of winning in 2016. The electoral math simply isn't there for the Rs--not unless something dramatic and unexpected happens to change the dynamics (and this is possible, even if it's not likely).
Finally, I am glad we're on the same team. I too am frustrated, by a lot of things, not the least of which is that I do not feel well-represented by the Democratic Party (at the national level, in any event).
Cheers!
