Donald Trump needed a huge victory tonight to try and make inroads into the Obama coalition. Instead, he began by playing to the Breitbart crowd and, eventually, playing to the voices in his head. It was a virtuoso performance of insanity, a cavalcade of crazy.
So here’s the thing: the momentum is back on our side. Trump has been proven to be a joke in the largest audience to have ever watched a political debate. Focus groups and snap polls confirm the verdict: Trump was the big loser. Republicans in those focus groups grumbled about not voting, not turning out. And that’s our biggest opportunity: take that Republican apathy and frustration, and turn it into historic Congressional victories.
So here’s what we can do right now: we’ve put together an ActBlue slate with 10 Democratic women we’ve endorsed at both the Senate and House levels. Let’s celebrate tonight’s historic marker—the first victory by a woman in a presidential debate—by supporting the rest of the great women fighting for a better Congress.
So what are you waiting for? Give!
