one does wonder if our momentum will build, or if we have much room to the upside from here.

My guess is we will squeak out a win in this election partly due to the deeply flawed opposition, with modest gains in Congress. So not much progress.

What I'm not seeing us doing right now is solidifying the political middle. Something we failed to do in 2016 as well.
