Republicans are going to do nothing but lie and block for the duration. They have nothing else but fear.
OTOH, "Trickle Down" has gone the way of the buffalo. Only the lonely can possibly believe that the 1% have the country's welfare at heart after all these years. On social issues, they can only depend upon their base base. Those tables have turned. They can forget about foreign affairs. I feel safer than I have since I was old enough to know the difference. ACA will come through like gangbusters. We learn of this daily. Progressives have so many boots-on-the-ground, it's threatening to kick up a dust storm unseen since the 30's.
With all of that, this is still a mid-term election. Gerrymandering has taken a toll, along with voter restrictions.
So, how to get out the vote?
If we can convince the non-political, the most important segment of our society, that this a battle that will decide the next 50 years of America, it's citizens welfare, particularly economics, and the life of earth itself, we have a good chance.
May this be the greatest message presenting year of all.
Nothing is more important.
We can discuss this and wonder what to do about that, but in the end, the ONLY thing that matters is voter turnout. Ya CAIN'T go to the dance if you AIN'T bought your ticket! Go team go.
