Chatter And Banter - Politics In North America

@Laks09,

NBC just called Cruz as the projected winner. Heart-breaking.

 

Watching this with the rest of the world.
Feel your pain.

 

Democrats need to understand that Governor races and state representative and senate races are as important as House, Senate and Presidential elections. This is where gerrymandering begins when President Obama won 2008 Presidential election, the Tea Party movement systematically assembled to capture the state legislators and redistrict crucial contests and the effect of which is felt by the house even today.
My heart breaks for Beto O'Rourke, Stacy Abrams and Andrew Gillum.

The positive side is so many young women are seated in the house. Women's right issues will be addressed very well. Healthcare Bill will restore preexisting conditions. Florida needs more migrants from cold weather states in the Northeast.

If I was heading democrats, I won't touch the following:

1) Impeachment of the President as it would create sympathy wave to his base

2) Handle illegal immigration and border petrol with care and diligence as the President has already prepared his base to believe Democrats will be too easy on this

3) Instead of focusing on blocking the bills, keep introducing record number of bills as people have been very unhappy for years with the Congress for not doing much of legislative work.

4) Prepare Democratic party to elect a fine man or woman who will unite the Americans and become a very successful President in 2020 by a substantial margin.
