(1,736 posts)or statewide elections? Data is data - review it, and use it to improve. Republicans cheat in elections all the time. It's what they do. What's the Dem response?? After all these years, 2000 election, 2004 - all we have to say at this point is Republicans cheated? That is like saying the sun rises in the east. What is the next move, Democratic Party? More underwhelming campaigns that don't even inspire a whole segment of our own base?? Not being competitive in most of the South and Midwest? Followed by Monday morning excuses, hand wringing, we wuz robbed?? Even after Trump conspired with the Russians and Comey dropped a dime on Clinton, a good percentage of the Dems in Washington were still considering cooperating with Trump rather than resisting!! How completely counterproductive and pathetic is that??? It's either change the approach or prepare to be a permanent minority party, even when we "win."
