I have to believe it will result in a historical landslide loss for him and the entire enabling GOP
I believed this in 2016, and yet here we are.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

I know, Jessica. Right there with you. The reason for my biggest concern being voter suppression efforts. They can only win by cheating, like they did in 2016.

In good court news, Epstein was just denied bail.

That is an excellent update, Tom. I just hope each and every person complicit in this man's abuse is made public.

You mean 2016, when we took back the House? 2016, when we kept getting news of Democratic victories for days after Election Night?
Look, I get it. Things are bad, and going to get worse, and it would have been great to get Ted Cruz out of the Senate. But if you only focus on that, you can psych yourself out of recognizing the victories we have won.
And yeah, the attacks on AOC and the others are disgusting. (I confess, I'm carefully curating my news consumption these days.) But they wouldn't be expending the effort if they didn't think there was a threat there.
