Now that the fat lady is inhaling for her final aria, we are getting the self-doubters coming out of the woodwork.
...this pundit is an idiot, that pundit is a a**hole, and every finge useless albeit normal complaint about bipartisanship in COngress, what if after what if...
These complaints, by Dems, seem to focus about how information was presented to these overly sensitive Dems.
We won the important race and held the House.
We now write the budget, control the checkbook and have the pulpit.

(15,536 posts)They're already examining "what went wrong for Dems" and that's the supposedly liberal sites. Then some DU'ers glom onto that meme and work it to death.
In my opinion, the Democrats in this country worked their asses off in this election and for the most part stood as one, which we intended on doing, so I'm happy with that.

(1,102 posts)It is the game of lowering expectations for republicans and making them impossibly high for Democrats.
We see this in every aspect. For example - if republicans go up 0.1% in polls, they are "surging" if Democrats do it, it is mentioned with a caveat that the race is going to tighten and this increase will not last.

Hell yeah we won.
I am concerned about one thing; how long will it take to disinfect the White House?
scrape the Big Mac sauce off the Resolution Desk.
I would suspect that the residency upstairs was kept clean by Melania & Barron.

(10,156 posts)No time to beat ourselves. But I do think we need to change DNC chairman's. Stacy would be absolutely perfect for the job. We gotta get a winning message in red states somehow. Even if we have to find conservadems.

(4,673 posts)the natuonal scene when he ran. In the first debate for chair was when I first saw him. After the first couple of questions I thought: who is this guy? I was impressed.
He has a bigger role to play now in the administration, but he would have been excellent the last years.
