The Outlook for Democrats is Not as Bad as You Think

Jon Ossoff's loss in GA-6 left the White House gloating, Democrats panicking and pundits pronouncing that the party doesn't know how to win in the Age of Trump and should clean house - beginning with an ouster of Nancy Pelosi as House leader. "Poppycock," say the MOMocrats (the phrase they actually use is a lot stronger than that, but we're not certain it would be appreciated in this BlogTalkRadio description). The truth is, Democratic candidates outperformed expectations in every single special election this year (which were all in deeply red districts). The House is in play for 2018.Of course, there are other reasons to be concerned: today's reveal of the secret Senate healthcare bill (which is just as mean as the one the House passed), the travesty of the acquittal in the Philando Castile case, and the mess that is Trump foreign policy are just a few that MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills will discuss on this week's podcast looking at the day's political news from the progressive point of view.
