This is not a sign of weakness. Its arithmetic. We just dont have the numbers. And we dont have the White House.
And we dont have the numbers because too many of us decided to teach Obama a lesson by not voting in 2010 and 2014, thereby paving the way for Republicans to take majority control of the Senate.
We dont have the White House because, while Republicans saw the federal courts as so all-important they were willing to stand by the most corrupt, hateful, unfit and unqualified presidential candidate in history, too many Democrats didnt think the federal courts were important to vote for a candidate they saw as less than perfect (She WAS a flawed candidate, after all ...).
It was not a failure of leadership or our partys weakness that put us in this situation.
