Wow - you’d think Nov never happened.
That's because what Nov taught them was this:
This is the main reason that I didn't want the Republican party to win in November (don't mistake that as me saying I wanted Democrat party to win; I didn't want that either) — that they've done a lot of nothing for the past 6 years, failing to stand for anything should not, IMO, be rewarded. (And they do view Nov as their own reward, rather than as a punishment for the Democrats.)
