POLITICO — Why the Democrats Just Lost the Senate
While Nancy Pelosi is shopping for speaker’s gavels, Chuck Schumer should be preparing for another term as minority leader.

“For Democrats, the Don Blankenship dream is over. The coal-mining baron and ex-con was a pleasant diversion—the prospect of yet another train-wreck Republican candidate was exactly the kind of opponent that Sen. Joe Manchin needed in his dicey reelection campaign in West Virginia—but now it’s back to the reality of a merciless map that offers little hope for Chuck Schumer’s dream of becoming majority leader.

It may be the cruelest irony of the Trump era. During an election season when the House seems to be a lost cause for Republicans and nearly every indicator suggests massive Democratic gains in November, the outlook for wresting the Senate away from the GOP remains grim.

The long list of flipped state legislative seats since Donald Trump’s election (40 at last count), the supercharged Democratic turnout in recent special congressional elections, the avalanche of small-donor cash, the geyser of grass-roots energy — none of it changes a Senate landscape where Democrats are defending more seats, in more hostile places, than at any other time in memory.

It’s hard to overstate the degree of difficulty in flipping the Senate this year. As Nate Silver has noted, it’s possible that Democrats are confronting the worst Senate map ever—as in, since direct Senate elections began in 1914.”

It’s real easy to see why the Democrats are having a hard time. They are still litigating an election that has passed and don’t seem to grasp the here and now.

Who wants a party that can’t deal with the problems that face Americans?

They see the Russian ‘Collusion’ ploy with the President, nothing more than a bad dream, as information keeps coming out about how it was the Democrats who bought and paid for this farce.

The very Party who believes it’s best for country, has been caught red-handed trying to cheat it’s way into office.

Look at what went on within the DNC before elections, where Donna Brazile, Chairwoman, fed Clinton with questions and answers before a debate?

Look, it seems all candidates have skeletons, somewhere in their closets, but to try and subvert the will of the people, is tyranny and those people, Party, are definitely who we can’t afford having the keys to our kingdom.
