5. This is where I think the focus should be

2016 is lost, after Trump is inaugurated, the Left continuing to focus so much on the why's and how's of Hillary's loss is essentially us wasting precious time. We need to make it as difficult as possible for Trump to get things done in Congress and that will happen if we can win seats. Which SHOULD be easier since we already know turnout across the board is always down during midterms. The Left needs to treat 2018 like it's a Presidential election cycle. If we do, we can do big things in 2018.

This is why I think the most dangerous years with Trump in office will be the first 2 when he has the most favorable Congress possible. They're going to try to ram a lot of crap through his first two years in office anticipating a Trump backlash in 2018.
