White nationalist and hate merchant Steve Bannon was appointed Chief Strategist for DT. Fascist, sexist, anti Semite, racist. Editor of Breitbart News, an ultra nationalist paper. No government experience. Unbelievable choice.
Reince Priebus, RNC chairman, was appointed chief of staff. Knows all the Republicans in Congress but not any Dems. No experience.
Every day it gets worse. We can't accept it, we can't normalize it.
Long, long hike through the state land with my buds, Leanna and Susan. So much to talk about that we barely took a breath. Grief, rage, passion, purpose, resolve. We must retake Congress in 2018. Democrats are in the worst position in a hundred years. Lots of work to do and everyone has to be involved.
Things can change very rapidly. President Obama spoke today about the election results and suggested that Hillary failed because they did not pursue a 50 state strategy and they neglected the middle of America. But, on a hopeful note, he explained that in 2004, the only Democrats to win nationally were Obama in Illinois and Ken Salazar in Colorado. But, in 2008, Obama won the Presidency and the Dems took back the Congress.
Change is the constant, except in Congress. They keep reelecting incumbents.
In other news, I have only two chapters left to edit, the introduction and conclusion. Very exciting, but tempered by world events.
