They need to figure out some way to stop making their wins look, sound, and feel like catastrophic losses. It’s not just a matter of a few griping DUers; Dems have a major and long term problem with optics and with messaging.

If, every time we score a victory, we need a team of devoted truebelievers to assure us that we won, then maybe it wasn’t as much of a win after all.
