12. It becomes a mantra that the Democrats are weak

The MSM will use this to beat the Democratic Party over the head as a bunch of losers.

It's detrimental to the image of the party.

Never mind that we care more about governing and do it better...look at how powerful and strong the Retrumplican party is will be the mantra.

Donnie Short Fingers will be tweeting about how strong and great the Retrumplicans are and people are drawn to winners.

Don't believe me? Try to find a Cleveland Browns jersey at the mall...then try to find a New England Patriots jersey.

With margins as slim as they are, we can't afford to let even the slightest advantage go.

That's why... once and for all. Dems need to get money out of politics when they have the chance.
