Democrats of all stripes declared victory on Tuesday night in clearest sign yet voters have had enough of Trumpism

No single Democratic coalition can claim victory after Tuesday’s resounding midterm results – all parts of the Democratic coalition can.

Their wins were so sweeping, so resounding, that factional divisions fail to explain them. This year, the most important thing Democrats had to be to win was, simply, not Republicans.

Trump gave Democrats the political gifts of a deeply unpopular war against Iran that led to rising prices, chaotic tariffs that devastated small businesses, farmers and international alliances, healthcare cuts, a deadly deportation scheme, self-enrichment, corruption, a never-ending debacle over a reflecting pool renovation.

    Don’t worry. The democrats will blow their advantage like they have without fail for a half-century- and you’ll still have the far-right around for you to play centrist with. 😘

            Man, you’re quick. Multitasking over there- looking up references because you feel defensive, going back to my week old comments to post your cute takes.

            Maybe… find something useful to do, guy. I’m going to block you, I think, just so that you’re not tempted to waste so much of your very important time on me. You could be using that time to find more ways to keep being part of the problem.
