I don’t spread doom and gloom. I’m a realist as are many on FR. The fact of the matter is that the other side is prepared to do whatever it takes to win. Voters, politicians, election officials, judges, they believe they are righteous in their cause and the end justifies the means even if that means breaking the law and all the rules, cheating, stepping on the rights of millions of people. We are prepared to play by the rules and lose gracefully even when we know we were cheated.
The reality is that the signs are pointing to a repeat of 2010. Even liberal pundits and pollsters are acknowledging as much. Why didn’t the Rats pull out all the dirty tricks in 2010 and defeat those 63 Republicans who won House seats? Big parts of winning are believing you can and, of course, really wanting to win. Negativism doesn’t help.
