Showing Original Post only (View all)I have seen calls/ cries for Unity or we will lose 2020. I have a couple words for you. [View all]
BLUE WAVEThe wave was as ferocious as it was relentless. It brought us some awesome and diverse talent from Governors to Congress. We flipped red to blue and purple.

I have never seen a party more unified.
Vote as if your life depends on it. Vote as if the future of the planet depends on it. Frankly, it does. What more incentive does any voter need than this?

You know what else the cons did after 2010? Gerrymandering. That's why we didn't flip 60 seats. nt
