(17,146 posts)8 in the House and 2 in the Senate. So we didn't control in the Senate. No coattails when you lose the election.
I do blame the Democratic Party as a whole and the way they have sold their souls to Wall Street. THAT is one reason we keep losing (although we did pick up some ground this time). We also have weak machines in many states, where the battle really is. But losing what should have been a walk in the park IS the fault of the party, not any individual within it, not even Clinton. It just goes to show how out of touch the Democratic Party really is, more interested in fundraising from millionaires than in doing things that would help people the most, like advocating for universal health care or Social Security or holding Wall Street accountable.
Gerrymandering and voter suppression are also not Pelosi's fault.
