I would agree that it looks bleak for democrats. We have to win with substantially more votes. Your side can win with less votes. That isn't fair. But that's the system that we have. I wouldn't get too cocky. Every 10 to 15 years or so, one party takes every major office. Sweeps everything. Then they get complacent, and assume that their power will last forever. We're already seeing major shifts of popularity across the country turning against the republicans.
Don't automatically assume Trump voters are Republican. I voted for Trump but have been a lifetime democrat. In fact, up until very recently (2017) have been giving money to the democratic political action committee. That does not sound like a strong Republican does it?
But I voted for Trump and many others like me did too. I made the best choice that could be made for someone who would represent manufacturing labor in an organized setting . And if the democrats keep trying to destroy middle class jobs, I (we) will not be voting for the democrat next time around either. Even if the republican is a person that is a racist or has other serious character flaws. You never get to vote for someone who represents all of your interests. But in the final analysis, we vote for our own self interest and that is indeed what happened with Trump. The American middle class is past being tired of both of the parties.
That's not being cocky, it is simply telling it like it is.
