(15,212 posts)Oh, I'm worried, and with good reason, but there's still time to swing things in the other direction.
GOTV will matter.
There might still be time to turn minimum wage and unemployment benefits into bigger issues.
Maybe Republican discipline will slip again in trying to keep their candidates from saying batshit crazy and hateful things.
Obamacare successes might start to replace memories of the bad roll out.
Might, I say. Why is that that I feel like the bad roll out will stick in people's minds as something to hold against Democrats, when in the end it caused very little actual harm, while the shutdown debacle which caused plenty of harm and costs many billions of dollars seems like it's already a distant, faded memory for most of the American public, who don't seem to remember their all-to-fleeting anger at Republicans for that?
