Hillary with her huge, well known baggage put a big handicap on rural Dems.

We all had the same information on Donald...four decades worth of misogyny, racism and grifting. Anyone who voted for him is an asshole.

The correct answer, of course, is to do away with the Electoral College, which is the real reason Donny is sitting in the White House. Next would be to get redistricting out of the hands of state legislators, with independent panels doing the drawing of lines. Finally, the courts must prevent Donny from underfunding the 2020 census, and keep partisan politics out of this essential process.

Archie Bunker won’t give up power easily, but one of these days, he’ll finally realize that he’s the past, not the future of our democracy.

It might be an interesting article, and I'd be willing to read it and discuss my reactions--if someone I respected as an observer with an honest open mind brought it up....

And then there's this:

A young Republican activist from Northern Virginia who was seen as a potential rising star quit the party Tuesday, citing President Trump’s “appalling comments” about Haitian immigrants and what he called a nativist streak in his home state.

Kyle McDaniel, 28, served on the party’s state central committee for two years and has worked as a top aide for Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield), who said he had hoped McDaniel would eventually run for public office.

Trump keeps thinning the ranks of Republicans.

Instead of constantly playing Trump's game and losing, the Dems might do well to listen to a bit of "wisdom from the Heartland".

[I]“The number of Democrats holding office across the nation is at its lowest point since the 1920s and the decline has been especially severe in rural America,” .

So, the last time Republicans held so many offices nationwide was during the decade that brought us a market so volatile that we hit highs "too good to be true" followed by crash so tragic that unemployment reached nearly 20% in much of the nation, thousands of businesses went bankrupt and Wall Street investors committed suicide, plummeting to the sidewalks below?

And, Whell sees this as a GOOD point to make?

Yep, he's still a dumbass.

LOL. That's right. Keepeth thy head in the sand, and thou shalt continue to reap irrelevance.
