And if we lose power this time because we can't do certain things with our small majority instead of fighting for more Democratic House and Senator members...increasing our majority, the GOP will have a much easier time cementing their power than in 10 and 14. God knows how long it will last and if our Republic survives.
We need to support and vote for every sitting Democrat including Sen.Manchin. And I for one am sick of the Manchin bashing. This is Democratic Underground and Manchin is a Democrat in a very red state. Unless we start following a 50 state strategy as Howard Dean did, I don't know how we increase our majorities or even hold them. We need to put experience political leaders who have demonstrated that they know how to win in charge of elections. We also need to shore up our weak Democratic state Parties.
