Election Day 2018

Mia Love takes the lead in Utah despite Trump trashing her as a loser the day after the election.

I’m sure she’s forgiven him.
 
Highland, those stories are all about strengthening brand loyalty among the rubes and maintaining the fantasy that their sad little town is superior to California.

No doubt it is, but it's still funny to me to read Faux News stories about California possibly turning red just a couple of months before what's left of the CA GOP is virtually wiped out in the midterms.

faux news is such a terrible “nickname.” it’s as dumb as dims and lubes.

Trump says he doesn't understand the problem with Cindy Hyde-Smith saying she'd like to attend a public hanging. He said many fine people like to attend public hangings and that if you bring some Trump wine and grill some Trump steaks, it will be a night to remember.

So we got a bigger margin than 3 months after Nixon resigned and there is still a bump to come from the Mueller investigation.
 
But we still lost key statewide races. The popular vote was never the problem.

Sure. But Missouri and Tennessee are too far gone. FL, GA, and TX were much closer than the past. If those states are in play in 2020 and going forward, it’s huge. And AZ was a huge win.
 
 
But those "big tent" Republicans are still silent on nooses on trees in Jackson, MS.

Their candidate went to an all white school that was started to avoid federal segregation order. What's even worse than her attendance in the 70s is that she sent her daughter to the same segregated school.

Yep. If the Democrats can make states like TX and GA and AZ more competitive, then it hurts the GOP nationally, as they will have to put far more resources into holding those states than they have been required to do in the past. That's less money and resources they can put into PA, MI, WI, MN, etc. Had Cruz been able to walk to the usual landslide victory the GOP has gotten in the past in TX, that's a great deal of money and manpower the GOP could have put somewhere else. The Dems need to continue to find and run good candidates in those states, so they can build on what candidates like O'Rourke and Abrams and Sinema started this year (and in Sinema's case, achieved).
 
Exactly. This was just the beginning. People are galvanized. Our county Dem party has meetings tomorrow and Wednesday. And the progressive caucus is meeting on Thursday. I’m at our local Dem party meeting now.

Run everywhere and run on something.
