So it depends on how you define winning.  Flipping the see saw at this point is not winning.  You have to succeed so spectacularly that the see saw doesn't stand the risk of flipping back.  You have to win the opposite aspect of the country well enough to stick.

I think you and I are on the same page as far as how we are viewing what's going on politically. I see the recent blue victory in the House as loss for the blue side and view it as win for the American side so to speak. By the way, I do not see the deplorable as you say as being on the American side. I view them as social/political outcasts that Americans on both sides want nothing to do with these day. But, they're people and people have the right to vote in America and how they vote, who they support and for what reasons are largely viewed as personal by Americans these days.
