I don’t do wishful or magical thinking as a rule. I’m a pragmatic realist and it never makes me feel better.
But it’s feeling increasingly *possible* that we could not only win this thing but achieve a decisive victory that ends Trump once and for all—leaving the GOP’s deeply unpopular agenda unprotected by his inexplicably charismatic spell.
Anyway, for what it’s worth, my cynical instinct to shut this thinking down isn’t activating.
