We're surviving in Michigan, despite Snyder. And it looks like he's going to win re-election. We just keep voting. Don't abandon your state to the Republicans.

The Democratic Party wasn't expected to do well this election, but things will probably swing the other way in 2016, and that's when the POTUS is elected, and the POTUS chooses SCOTUS justices. That's where the big game is IMO. Relax and keep on voting every election. We just need to keep voting and encouraging others to vote.

Everyone freaks out every time the Dems do poorly in an election. It happens. Look forward to the next one rather than worrying about this one.
