2018 comes two years before 2020. A lot of things went on in the 2018 mid-term election cycle that were not pleasant for Trump or his supporters.
Seats were lost, states were flipped blue, it got weird, some strange people with little experience running or leading anything narrowly missed winning office.
We are very positive around here. But we must not be so happy-happy we forget the other side knows how to get it done: see 2018. They got a lot done in 2018 and they don't seem to care how strange it gets. It got very strange and is still strange and we just say, "wow, how strange." Yes, it's strange. But it's HERE.
I hope some serious energy and professionalism is being put into the races BELOW the presidency because those offices hold up the presidency.
The Republicans have had two whole years to contemplate, ponder, analyse, 2018.
Two whole years.
If the same things happen again, well too-badsky.
You had TWO YEARS TO WORK ON THIS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN.
You are assuming that the repugs actually care about the dems cheating.
Other than Trump, the repugs (who are mostly from heavy republican districts .. ie protected) don't care about the people's vote counting. Gerrymandering protects repugs and dems, and is always negotiated between party elites behind closed doors.
The whole fucking system is rigged to give us a "choice" of candidates that elites of both parties can control.

This is the answer... for the most part, there is very little real competition for districts in Congress.
It's called redistricting when Democrats do it.
