They are desperate to prove they are not failing nearly as much as it appears. Failing to repeal is a massive humiliation, not as humiliating as Trump has been for the GOP though.

Dems thought Ga seat last month was winnable, but again and again after November, the GOP and America won. Sames will occur in Alabama.

So it only shows the "strength" of the left when they win in California or Washington? Way to show how the country is "turning liberal".

Its not accurate that democrats ignore middle America. Until this last election we did well in states like Wisconsin and Iowa. I see 2016 as a fluke. I suppose time will tell.

We did very well in Colorado and New Mexico. We did well in Nevada. We are doing better in Virginia and have carried in about four of the last five presidential elections.

We don't do well in the deep South. The deep South is not progressive. We will probably take back Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan before we win a deep South state. Possibly, we will win in North Carolina though.

Ultimately Hillary won almost 3,000,000 more votes than Donald did. I am not here to debate the Electoral College. What I am here to do is to tell you the democrats are doing fine. The South is probably our most difficult region of the country though.

Seven Democrats are competing in the primary on August 15.

Should be easy for Dems to win this election, especially with the President expressing displeasure with A.G. Sessions. It would prove the loud mouth bluster from Dems is more than flatulence from fools and put the nail in the coffin of Trump supporters. Can the dems pull a win out of the hat ?

The senator said he would spend the time between now and the election working in Washington, "upholding Alabama values and working with President Donald Trump to drain the swamp and help make America great again."

Alabama is a red state. No democrat can win. And that's really unfortunate on their part since obamacare is helping them.

For someone who just had Obamacare thrown back in his face I thought you might want to lay down and count to ten to release some anxiety and stress from losing.

No one is betting on flipping deep red seats.

I'll take the purple/light red seats... like Democrats did here:
