The Progressives cannot control the narrative any longer.

Yes, Democrats love calling defeats ‘wins’, it makes them feel better.
“...coming off their near-sweep of last month’s elections.”
They elected a Democrat in New Jersey and a Democrat to replace a Democrat in now-blue Virginia, which Hillary carried last year. “near sweep”? Sure. If you’re into circle jerking and comfort zones, and need to feel good about yourself.
I guess they must all be rooting for us to win - it gives them the biggest boosts ever....;-)
