69. It'll take more than that...

If you read between the lines about Trump's true intent behind any voter fraud investigation, the results will be more sabotage to our election integrity, not less.

Dems will have to win everything by landslide because landslides are almost impossible to flip. Close races are easy to manipulate.

So, I'd say a conservative goal for changing minds would have to be at least 25 of every 100. Especially since not a single Dem in Congress is paying any attention to taking steps to validate vote counts or to mandate recounts without state election officials participation and without lawsuits to stop recounts! Dems will keep losing if we don't push them to put a stop to Republican election rigging. In fact, why spend billions on elections at all, if the Republicans have the power to know who the winners will be? Take away that power and we won't have to engineer landslides to win. Easier said than done, I know!

And I don't know about the rest of you, but a landslide democratic candidate for 2020 doesn't seem to be on the horizon, not even a shadow or a whisper. That makes me very nervous. When Obama spoke at the 2004 Dem Convention, you just KNEW he was going to be the landslide candidate for 2008. We better be finding one REAL soon.

And down-ticket? There are at least 6 vulnerable Senate seats occupied by Dems in states that voted heavily for Trump. It's going to be an uphill battle for 2018, so the heat is on! We need to stay focused every minute leading up to 2018.
