The trend is your friend. Plot the data at each election and see what that tell you. Blue_true Jun 2017 #39

I'll believe the trend when we have an actual Democratic majority in Congress. PoindexterOglethorpe Jun 2017 #44

I think we could have aimed higher, earlier. Much higher. Alice11111 Jun 2017 #28
