If the Democrats do not win the presidency in November, they will also be unlikely to retake control of the Senate. Think about what that would mean.
1. They would lose the executive branch.
2. They would have no control of either house of congress.
3. This would solidify conservative control of SCOTUS for decades.
4. Republicans would keep control of the majority of governorships and state legislatures.
I was startled to hear an NPR commentator warn that this election is more perilous for the Democratic Party than it is for the Republican Party. But I'm afraid that's right.
Gov. Howard Dean has been warning us for years that we needed to continue the 50 state strategy he pursued when he was head of the DNC. But the party has not listened -- and it's only gotten worse with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in charge at DNC. She seems to have focused everything on paving the path to the White House for Hillary Clinton, like having few debates and scheduling them at insanely wrong time slots.
