(3,626 posts)we dodged a freaking hydrogen bomb and just barely. Don't forget that over 58,000,000 Americans voted for Mitt the Twit. Fifty-eight million fellow American voters. That's no small number, folks, even if we take out election fraud/flipped votes.
I'm dancing in the streets and off the Xanax since the election, but don't for one second believe the phoney self-reflection being promoted by the likes of Jindal and others. They're clever and, more importantly, they're patient. 2014 will be hugely important to guard against, and 2016 is right around the corner. The 'new and improved' (R) party will be as dishonest and evil as always. They will just try to camouflage it more effectively.
We need to be ready. We need to start right now to cultivate and promote excellent Democratic up-and-comers. We should not put all our eggs in the 2016 Hillary basket. (I don't think she'll run and have said this consistently.) We're Democrats. We can actually multi-task. We can look to the future while still savoring the delicious present.
