In my personal opinion for whatever it is or not worth, I think in order for democrats to come back from the 2016 election where we lost no matter how much or by how little, we have got to quit letting small differences and accusations stand in the way of what is important. Hillary lost, democrats did not get enough senators to affect the majority in the senate or turn the majority in the house. We gained some governors and we lost some governors. So be it. Most of the ones with Hillary's generation are getting up there in age anyhow and can't really run again in the mid terms, so what good does it do to keep rehashing the primary? I agreed with a lot of Bernie Sanders ideas and he is still a senator who votes with the democrats
most of the time. If things go the way it is looking with Trump and all those he is choosing to head his cabinet, 2018 doesn't look bad.
However, not very republicans will be up for re-election and those are in Red states. I say though, nothing is impossible and we can turn at least two of the red states blue and that is all we need if we can keep all the senators we currently have, which is by no means a given. It depends on how bad things are going, really and how enthusiastic people are. Bernie keep your revolution going strong, we need it now more than ever.
Personally I feel as though we are in last throes (to put it in Cheney's words) of conservatism. It is like they are going to be given all the rope they need to hang themselves, slowly. It is just living in this last throes that is the killer.
Just my
