I'll grant you that in places other than "The Heartland"™ results have been good for Democrats. But, Indiana booted their Democratic Senator by a large margin in '18, as did Missouri, as did North Dakota. And these were NOT flaming lefty's.

And let's not forget 42 percent of Muricans have a positive view of Trump, even today FFS.

I'm afraid it's increasingly looking like you'll have to once again trot out that old trope, "But, s/he won the popular vote!" whilst dreading (like all of us) four more years.
