2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWould you rather run w/a status quo OR an honest taking on the corrupt system that is rigged in
favor of the corporations and 1% presidential candidate if you were running for election in today's environment?
For me, it's a no brainer. I wouldn't want to be out there defending a status quo candidate to an outraged voting public.
Bottom Line: No one would every go broke betting on the stupidity of the majority of our elected officials.

which has screwed the rest of us will win.
Hmmm.. by your question it doesn't seem like the down ticket races matter a damn bit. I wonder if any of them (the down ticket Dems) have figured that out yet? Just wait until that lightbulb goes on..
