Democrats, of late, have taken to citing Hillary Clinton's historically large popular vote victory in the presidential race over Donald Trump as evidence that the country is still fundamentally on their side.
Judging by recent election results -- even before Clinton's stunning loss three weeks ago -- that's simply not true. Republicans not only control both the U.S. Senate and House but find themselves at or near historic highs in terms of governorships and state legislative control.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack got it exactly right then when he told The Washington Post's Greg Jaffe that the current state of the Democratic party is like a tree that "looks healthy on the outside but is in the throes of slow and long-term demise.

The alarming part is that they came so close to winning the presidency and not that far from recapturing the Senate.
Even though their ideology isn't very popular outside their pet constituent groups, they are still very much of threat because of their wealthy contributors, their zealousness in pushing their agenda, their control of the MSM, and the ignorance of the poorly educated American electorate.
Love it ... but you’d have pretty narrow starting and ending point windows.
If not for damn VT you could drive all the way from Maine to the southern coast of Oregon.
PRICELESS, Lizzie!
... the Democrats’ ill-conceived sense the Country is on its side.
The Democrat Party is largely a disaster controlled by the Left. Every self-respecting individual still registered as a Democrat should walk away and rethink what it means to be a liberty-loving American.
They can whine all they want. They might as well claim a baseball team with the most hits “won” a baseball game. That’s not how the game is scored and that’s also not how the election is scored.
They have only one standard - attack anything that works against them. That’s why they treated James Comey so bizarrely. He went from villain (when he began investigating Clinton), to hero (when he dropped the charges) to villain again (when he reopened the case). And they did it without a shred of recognizing how hypocritical it was!
If the Electoral College worked for them then they’d be crowing about how great it is. Expect them to get serious about “the Electoral College must be abolished” sooner rather than later. They can’t have ANYTHING stand in their way.
Not so narrow from sea to shining sea...just can't get to Maine without driving through enemy territory.
Dems are in decline, if it weren’t for indoctrination in K-12, Universities and support from the media they would be hanging on by their fingernails in Northeast states and California.
