QOTD: "The Democrats may be effectively locked out of power in all three branches of government for years.
At the state level, after last month’s elections, they’ll control only 16 governorships and 13 legislatures.This year, punctuated by Hillary Clinton’s loss, exposed the remarkably shallow depth of the Democratic bench. The size of the Republican primary field — for which the GOP was relentlessly mocked — was also a sign of the party’s health up and down the ballot. Democrats simply didn’t have the political talent to put forward 17 candidates (or even seven). That’s partly because there’s been limited opportunity to move up in the leadership ranks. Pelosi (Calif.) and Reps. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.) and James E. Clyburn (S.C) have had a death grip on the party’s top congressional slots for a very long time. It’s also partly because the Democratic farm system is hurting." --Chris Cillizza

"The Democrats may be effectively locked out of power in all three branches of government for years." From his keyboard to God's ear.
