I hate to see the Dems making unforced errors now taking all the blame for 2016. We now know

that is not true. This is what the GOP has over us. They fight to the end. We always give up halfway through the battle. The only Dem I remember fighting on were Bill and Hillary. Chuckie boy is not doing us any favors right not by supporting Trump's meme about Dems using Russia because we lost. THIS IS FUCKING INSANE!

If it is true that the Dems had no message and no one understood what we stood for, how did we get 3M more votes, add to our seats in the House and Senate?

Chuck has now taken he wind out of the sails of the Dems who were willing to fight this battle and those pols who are agreeing with him are making it much more difficult to feel like fighting any harder. I remember substantive debates, and town halls where the Dem positions and policies were well spelled out. The media would not pump those plans and policies like they did the one liner and lies out of Trumps mouth. The Dems stood for everything Hillary and Bernie were pushing in the primaries. Now we are going to say we had no message? WTF??? And if you aren't about being against a man like Trump with behaviors and policies like his WTF can you be against?

Damn Chuck, you just gave 2018 to the GOP. Why not just go ahead and vote with them to repeal the ACA?

Dems can offer a better deal WITHOUT weakening our position about Russia, the media, how disgusting Trump is.
