Simple math: Clinton compromised. Ds lost House, Senate in 1994. Obama compromised. Ds lost House in 2010, Senate in 2014. If Ds abandon their plan to expand Medicare, reduce drug prices and fight poverty, they'll lose the House and the Senate in 2022. thenation.com/article/politi…

At the risk of jinxing the spell, maybe we should consider it possible that the lower number we're getting to is actually the original target that was artificially inflated in a master stroke of anti-GOP psy ops.
