I may be completely wrong, but I see a lot of talk in terms of how the Dems failed to be elected.

I'm thinking more about how the Reps succeeded in being elected.

That, far as I can tell, is through Trump lying through his teeth in the most incredible manner every time he speaks, and people who are ill-equipped to see through it being deceived.

I have to think it's hard to compete with that, if you're not lying yourself.
