Then they need to start a 50-state game and FUND IT. FUND IT. And pay operatives to run it in each state. The machine will have to operate for years before it begins to turn a profit, but that has to be done before we can reliably expect states to start turning blue, if they ever will.
It's certainly possible that, for the US, it's too late to reverse the course we are on. The stupids have won, and we will all be going down with the stupid ship no matter what, because it's simply too late -- esp for the environment. We can expect to be stripped of whatever wealth we own to make the rich richer. The stupids will blame democrats for the decline, and will flock to their prosperity gospel churches to make themselves feel better. And that will be the end of that.
And we have to realize that had Clinton won, we would have had another Obama presidency -- blocked by Pubs at every turn, blamed for 9/11 and Katrina, etc., etc., so it's not like we'd be getting a lot done if we had won. It would have been another stalled presidency where nothing of substance got done.
