That’s the number of counties nationwide that voted for Barack Obama twice and flipped (voted for the GOP presidential candidate) last November, sentencing the country to the tragic soap opera known as the Trump administration. And with the 2018 midterms just 14 months away Democrats have done shockingly little to address their 2016 electoral demons.
Thus far, Democrats have managed to hobble through a Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman election that highlighted a half-hearted attempt to bridge deep internal divisions and avoid much needed reform, roll-out a pathetic rebranding campaign encompassed by a slogan lifted from a fast food chain, lose Congressional special elections and witness their fallen heroine publish a whining, petty, dishonest account of the 2016 election she deemed a sabotage job led by a false prophet and his disillusioned followers. So much for learning from a historically bad 2016.
