11. Although there is plenty of blame to go around

I certainly hope we concentrate on how to repair our standing with voters.

My preference is to get behind Democrats with strong communication skills who can spell out what’s at stake in down-to-earth, easily understood, everyday, outside-the-Beltway language. I’m so sick of consultant speak, focus-group speak, big donor speak.

Obviously something has gone wrong for for us to have a favorable average of around 28%. That’s heartbreaking.
