it's hard to imagine Democrats not taking back the WH as well as adding seats in Congress.

That was the sentiment in 2000 and 2004 too, especially the latter. I'll wait until all the eggs are hatched and the chicks are running around.

I think the contrast will be shocking to any who have their eyes clearly open.

It's too easy to fall in the trap of thinking that anyone who sees things "clearly" must necessarily agree with and support your particular cause.

American elections are almost always close affairs within 10% or less, precisely because there isn't one clear "right" POV held up to the obviously inferior one.

Thinking otherwise leads candidates to lose winnable elections.
