The media story has Democrats running around with their hair on fire….
They should re-invent themselves….
They should put all the oldtimes in a boat and let float away….
WAIT….
Maybe they should stop and actually look at how they came out NOT so bad after all….
Things aren’t nearly as bad as one would think…
And the future actually looks Brighter for the party going ahead
And Trump IS gonna be a ‘Hot Mess’ like he was the last time only Worse….
He’s in the hole for hundreds of millions in Civil judgements…
He’s listening to ALL the RightWingNuts, some of who he no use for anymore since the November vote…
The Senate Republicans have already started to pushback against him…
The House GOP political knife fights are already here…
Even Stephen Miller is backing up on immigration….
And worse of all?
All the stuff that Biden had to deal with and got poor marks on?
Will be in Trump’s lap….
Oh, I forgot….
Threats of Traiff’s an Tax cut that will SURELY make the US Economy even worse than it is ….
And a promise to close the US Mexico border that was an issue that Trump pursued during his first term under the guise of covid and WILL generate HUGE legal action AGAIN.…
WAIT….
Russell Berman: “Trump’s popular-vote margin has shrunk to about 1.5 percent—one of the tightest in the past half century—and because some votes went to third-party and independent candidates, he’ll fall just short of winning a majority of the vote nationwide. Compared with incumbent governments elsewhere in the world, Democrats’ losses were modest. And in the House, they gained a seat, leaving the GOP with the second-smallest majority in history. A trio of Republican vacancies expected early next year will make passing Trump’s agenda even more difficult, and Democrats are in a strong position to recapture the chamber in the midterm elections, when the incumbent party typically struggles.”
“The final results are prompting some in the party to push back against the doom-and-gloom diagnoses of Murphy, Sanders, and others who say the Democratic brand is in tatters and needs an overhaul
Scott P says
One can acknowledge that it was a disappointing loss, but also a much closer one than the supposedly liberal media claimed in the days after Nov 5.
jamesb says
Indeed Scott…
I HAVE focused on the postive for Democrats here….
And the fuck up’s coming from Trump who can do NO better….
Scott P says
In rhe end a switch of 200,000 votes across 3 states would have given Harris the election. Even though she would have still lost the popular vote by over a million votes.
Can you imagine the howl from Trumpublicans had that happened?
Maybe we would finally be riding of the Electoral College.
jamesb says
It certainly would N OT have been as calm. as it has beeen the last month….
The Elec toral College isn’t going anywhere….
