Regardless of who is the nominee, we will need a great turnout to keep the Republicans from getting what they want: control of all three branches of federal government. If they get that, they will change the landscape in ways that will make it even more difficult in the future.

I'm not overstating that risk, either. It is a real threat to progress. We win or we lose in a very major and crucial way.
