    The Dems have their problems, but I agree with Tom Friedman on the imperative that they regain one or both chambers.https://nyti.ms/2R4KeTw

        There's so much that is simply wrong our untruthful in this article... This is not a wise or intelligent position to take.

        "Because there is a basic respect for truth, science and decency in the Democratic caucus ..." The entire article is just absolute ridiculous, false, and childish rhetoric.

        They've just spent 2 years absolutely proving what this article claims to be false... They do not care about science, they use it. they do not care about the truth or decency. Where have you been?

        The GOP is made up of a multitude of subgroups predominantly those who are conservatives. The worst subgroups to vote GOP are those who are simply voting anti-democrat and they are only AS BAD as modern Democrats.

        which doesn't matter because even if you believe the GOP is the caricature you think it is, the Democrat Party has easily verified that it is as bad or worse. This article is claiming the Democrats are better, and they simply are not.

        Great - time for Dems to get pragmatic, then, and drop the “oppression Olympics” per Mark Lilla. Trump won because he spoke to disaffected working class voters in flyover states who are put-off by the coastal elite IYI agenda.

        I can only agree on the imperative that they regain control of one chamber. Sweet, sweet gridlock!

        She has literally never claimed to be a "minority" because of her ancestry.

        Remember Scott Foval who taught us that DNC officials were organizing mass illegal voting campaigns? Very few of the original MSM attacks on Trump are still around, because most of them were lies or misleading.
