29. We didn't win and have limited opportunity to retake the Senate

Yes we need to make some changes at least in our approach. In terms of values I think the public agrees with us on many things like abortion and minimum wage laws, so those are good. We can do a much better job in selling our economic record. The biggest area of disagreement is on immigration, but at least with non-republicans, I think what Trump is doing isn't popular either.
