How are these insane nuts winning elections?

4. It's worse than that.

These kooks have:

* a majority in a majority of the state legislatures
* a majority of the governorships
* a majority in the US House of Representatives
* a majority in the US Senate
* a thread thin majority in the USS Supreme Court

We hold the White House, which does little good if that is all one has.

Granted, the state legislatures and the US House can be Gerrymandered. But that does not explain the governors or the US Senate.

We are in deep shit to the crazies. We have work to do. Meanwhile we infight here on DU over who is going to win the Democratic presidential primary. Sorry! Wrong battle, people.

We are being played. We need to elect Democrats to these other positions so that when a Democratic president is elected in. 2016, he or she will have something to work with. Otherwise, we are utterly screwed. Eventually they will win the White House -- it could even happen in 2016 if the infighting continues.

Turn out is EVERYTHING. And Democrats do not do well in that metric.

Get to work, people.
