Confidence Isnt Complacency: Democrats Shouldnt Be Afraid To Say & Believe Clinton Will Crush Trump
.............
We know hes a misogynist who is appealing to the worst racist and fascist elements in America in a way we havent seen this blatantly in decades. Were well aware of the downside of a Trump victory, and there isnt anyone with an ounce of seriousness on the left who thinks that huge issues arent at stake choice, the Supreme Court, health care, immigration, national security and on and on.
But we also know that the likelihood of victory is on our side, and we should stop acting like a gaggle of Eeyores, constantly beating ourselves up and rending garments like were down by 20 percentage points.
In reality were far closer to being on the winning side of an epic landslide that metaphorically punches hate, racism, misogyny, ignorance and a million other qualities emblematic of the worst of America right in its stupid face.
And we should act like it.
Act like a winner, and be a winner. Dont act like a loser when youre winning.
Trump is going to be toast, lets get on with it.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

And realize that state elections are just as important. We need a goal of complete control in order to go where we need to be as a country.
We need to elect Democrats to all levels of government: Federal, state and local elections all matter.
Vote a straight Democratic ticket on November 8th!
