      That tracks with the reality that half of America really likes the guy.

      America is the country that had almost 70% of Republicans polling that Nixon shouldn’t resign the day before congress decided to impeach.

      He won. It is unfortunate, but not unsurprising or requiring a leap of faith, and it has all evidence supporting it, factually.

      Now we need to take that reality and address it and the root causes–rather than fighting facts with preferred fantasy like the right wing has done at every opportunity.

        It’s not half of America, it’s half of half of eligible voters, and even some of them were holding their nose to do it.

        If the DNC was even remotely capable of caring about everyday people they could have easily won. They need to crawl out of the corporate pockets they’ve been living in and actually try to fix things if they don’t want to go the way of the Whigs.
