but with no significant numbers gains in the House in the election to cut the repug advantage, it's doubtful that we can erase their majority in 2018 to gain control of redistricting for the 2020 census.
We do have to face the fact that the repugs, with their cheating (Comey's underhandedness, Russians and Assange helping to hack emails and very likely vote totals) have an unprecedented advantage.
I'm not advocating not working for victories in state and local elections as we have to head off the repug advantage in statehouses and in state legislatures because they are but three or four states short from being able to push through Constitutional amendments.
And we know whatever they come up with will drastically change the country, as well as cement permanent control for themselves.
