What else could we do to energize the Democratic party. Clearly it makes no difference to the Republicans who they trample to get their way while Democrats want to help everyone along the way.

Just look at how he "won" in 2016.<br /><br />This piece was an effort to show the state of play nearly a year and a half out.

Those bettors are not the ultimate source of wisdom, and surely your view is more informed than theirs. I agree with you and Josh Marshall of TPM that a variety of factors make Trump the underdog. But what outrageous ploys might Trump cook up (provoking a war, for example) to improve his odds? So the mindset I am adopting is that Trump may very well win, and that extreme vigilance and concerted effort are needed to pull the country out of this nightmare.Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.com
