The Kansas Democrat who nearly pulled off the impossible has some advice for his party

19. That seat should have never been on doubt for the GOP.

The fact that we talked about it, that there was even a chance for a Democrat is HUGE.

There was standing room only at my local Dem Party meeting last week. I cannot stress enough how out of the ordinary this is. I don't think bombs and wars are going to dampen the enthusiasm, either. DT alienated Democrats so badly, he will never 'become President of the United States', no matter how hard the pundits try to sell that line. He hates us. We know that. And he scares us. Bad politicking on his part, but there it is. And liberal voters are weary of the GOP gerrymandering and vote stealing on the state level too.

Challenge every single GOP candidate in every single race. Make them put time and money into defending 'safe' seats. With the ground swell of Democratic discontent, there will be more volunteers for state and local races than anyone has ever seen before. We will not win them all, but we will rattle their cages SO HARD that they will not make the mistake of ignoring our opinions again, gerrymandering or not. We are already making them sweat with the protests and town halls.
