9. Agreed, it seems to be the

way our state legislature wants it to go.

4. Kornacki just pointed out "just not enough suburbs"

in MS. They had strong black turnout, had "improvement the suburbs," "10% jump" in one big one, but just not enough of them. It's still a heavily rural state, and some areas were very heavy, "Trump-level," support for that dreadfully racist, pathetically incompetent Republican candidate. Even that was probably at least in part more rejection of Democrats than support for her.

7. Democrats should call out these states as examples

Throw in Alabama, Texas, Kansas as examples of why repug ideas don't work.

8. When I was growing up in Alabama

in the 60's and 70's, that was sort of the Alabama state motto.

"Thank God for Mississippi"

11. Roy Moore only lost by one point in AL

Perhaps he would have won in Mississippi.

10. That's been a common refrain in Arkansas as long as I can remember.

It doesn't provide much comfort but it's the best we got.
