I agree. The problem is, we've lost quite a few.
I don't mind losing a few battles, if the general direction of the war is in our favor. But it's far from clear to me that it is. Arguably, we've had almost no victories, and many defeats. While it's true that there haven't been many serious challenges to incumbents based on immigration, and therefore few defeats in that limited respect, it seems to me that the infrequency of serious immigration-based challenges is itself a defeat.
We don't have much time to win this war, which is why I'm impatient. And not optimistic.

Its the truth. It happens over and over again in history.
The battle may be lost but there are many battles to be fought before we achieve victory.

Up intil 1863, the Union was losing every single battle up until the stalemate in Antietam. George Washington was losing every battle until he crossed the Potomac River. They both won the war.
