You want a silver lining? We won’t have three presidential terms of headwinds facing us in 2018 and 2020, giving us a greater chance to make state-level gains ahead of 2020 redistricting. I know that’s not the best silver lining, but we always look to the future, because those underlying trends are still on our side. We’re just … further away. And the thought of Trump in the White House makes me want to vomit.
But we’ll lick our wounds, regroup, and live to fight another day. The other side never surrendered. We won’t either.
