If anyone wants to know what problems the Democrats really have…all they need to do is read this thread.

I keep mentioning this election was a perfect storm. I think two of the fronts that can lead to a perfect storm are evident right now.

I’ve said this over and over. The Tea Party started out putting up candidates all over the place, from dogcatcher to President. They primaried a bunch of fairly Conservative folks. And the first time, they lost a lot of primaries, and won some that cost them the general

And whether they lost the primary or not, they treated the nominee as the only possible choice, and worked tirelessly to get them elected, and the came out and voted.

They did this in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016, and here we are, with the Tea Party President, a GOP Congress and a GOP Senate, both largely controlled by the Tea Party.

If Progressives had cared as much as the Tea Party does, Clinton would be President, the Senate would be Democratic, and the Congress would be a lot closer.

But they don’t.
